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.

Nora is a great listener, still very early in our sessions but I am excited to keep working with her.
I've only have a couple of sessions with Nora Church, but I have felt completely comfortable and feel she listens to me. She understands there is a lot of layers of grief and has been willing to listen to me and offer some strategies that we will start working on. She responds to my emails in a timely manner. She is compassionate and caring.
