Cindi has undoubtedly been one of my greatest strengths, and the most effective solution finder in troubles that had been bothering me for years. As I get better at doing life, I am understanding that growth and healing are here to stay for the entirety not just for me but also for the lives I touch. It is truly a blessing to have a wonderful therapist and human being like Cindi to hold your hand in your darkest and most vulnerable hours.

About online counseling

Affordable.

Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

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.
