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.

Cindy, She listens and gives real life experience and understanding.

Reviewed January 2022

Cindy has been helpful as I have faced conflict with some of my adult children while going through several major life transitions myself. I have appreciated her insights and worksheet assignments that allow me to discover how to think and act more effectively. It's been useful to have the objective advice and recommendations of someone outside of my own circle of friends.
