Dr. Elly Oka is a well trained, thoughtful psychologist that challenges the individual to reflect on their own behavior. Her style is based on questions and creating space for the individual to come to their own conclusions along with some insight and guidance. In my 5 months of having her as a therapist, I have grown immensely and stopped making as many excuses for my limiting behaviors and negative cycles.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Very kind and understanding.
Elly has played such an important part in my healing journey, I was in a really bad place when I started the sessions with her and I already can see so much progress in just a couple of months.
She's very knowledgable and helpful. She's professional, on time, and empathetic. She has really helped me understand myself better.
