Reviewed January 2021

I was skeptical about going to therapy and even more unsure if I would be matched to someone that can help me unpack past issues. I was matched to Denise and from the 1st session she made me feel comfortable enough to share my past with her. She listens and navigates her feedback in a way that isn’t aggressive but rather a welcoming approach. I look forward to our weekly sessions.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
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.
