01 · Who Taika works with

Taika works with stress, Anxiety, relationship issues and family conflicts

Taika lists 5 specialisms and 4 further focus areas. Specialisms are the subjects Taika chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.

02 · In Taika's own words

What Taika says about the work

Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.

I'm a therapist with experience supporting individuals through depression, anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, family conflicts, and trauma. I work with clients seeking to build self-love, improve communication, explore life purpose, and process guilt and shame.

My approach is grounded in understanding the unique experiences and identities my clients bring to therapy. I'm committed to creating a welcoming, affirming space where you feel heard and respected. I draw on evidence-based practices to help you gain insight, build resilience, and move toward meaningful change at your own pace.

I believe therapy is a collaborative journey. My role is to listen with care and curiosity, meet you where you are, and support you in discovering your own strength and wisdom. I'm honored to walk alongside you as you navigate life's complexities and work toward healing and growth.

03 · What happens next

From this page to a first session

Taika practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Taika's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.

1. A questionnaire, not a booking form

   BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Taika at this point.

2. Naming Taika specifically

   BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Taika is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Taika.

3. If the caseload is full

   You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.

4. The first conversation

   A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.

5. If the fit is wrong

   Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

04 · Before you commit

3 questions worth asking Taika

Built from what Taika actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Taika's - Taika has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.

• “How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”

  Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.

• “How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”

  On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

• “You offer sessions in English and Haitian Creole. Does the work change depending on which we use?”

  People often reach different material in a first language than in a second. Worth naming before you choose.

06 · Provenance

Where every line on this page came from

Taika's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 9 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.

The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.

Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Taika. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
