Carmen is an empathetic counselor. I appreciate that she is able to suspend her personal biases to allow me to fully express myself. She is always ready to give practical insight which has helped me in situations that used to make me anxious or stressed. She makes every effort to understand my concerns and is an effective communicator. I highly recommend her.

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.

My therapist has really changed my life - I’m able to get back to the person I want to be. I can talk through my problems instead of harboring them, and I have to opportunity to not only be heard, but to have someone in my corner to lean on when I need a sounding board for my life. It’s been eye opening for me to have in my life, I wish I had tried therapy sooner.

Carmen is a truly empathetic and expert therapist and I have benefited tremendously from working with her. She finds a great balance between helping me to navigate the day to day issues, while also challenging me to investigate and deal with the roots that cause anxiety, stress, and emotional upheaval. She is also extremely gracious about making sure to find meeting times that work with the time difference.

Carmen has been great! Very patient and the listening ear that I needed. She helped me sort out my thoughts and be able to speak about my trauma in a safe place as I didn’t have anyone else available to do so. Sometimes we just need a present ear to help us see what we sometimes can’t see so that we can better asses ourselves. It’s been great!

Carmen has been so helpful while I go through several major life transitions and deal with some tough emotions. I have a much better grasp on my overall mental health, specifically my anxiety. I’ve been in therapy off and on for years and Carmen is the first therapist I feel really understands and sees what I’m facing even without being able to verbalize it myself. I’m eternally grateful for her help in this time.

Carmen has helped me understand many concepts that I have been dealing with. She is there when I need her and she responds as soon as she can.

I'm very thankful for her and this app as it has helped me grow and become a stronger individual.
