I feel as though I am talking to a friend and not a therapist. It feels really nice to get everything out and be given exercises to practice ways to think better and help clear my mind. Every week I look forward to speaking with her to tell my progress.

More about Kamalla

- LICSW, LCSW
I'm a therapist dedicated to supporting individuals through life's transitions and challenges. With experience working with depression, anxiety, stress, and self-esteem concerns, I help clients develop practical coping strategies and build resilience.
My work focuses on helping people navigate control issues, caregiver stress, and questions about life purpose and direction. I'm particularly skilled at supporting clients through anger management and the emotional weight that comes with major life changes.
I believe in creating a therapeutic space that honors who you are—your background, values, and identity. I approach therapy with authenticity, directness, and genuine care. My goal is to walk alongside you as you work toward greater clarity, peace, and self-compassion.
Starting therapy is a meaningful step, and I'm honored to support you on your journey.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
