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.

I have been working with Susan for some months now and she has helped me so much. Susan encouraged me & gave me the confidence I needed to address pressing issues how to with my doctors & family.I have a very painful & debilitating genetic illness & it was important to me to have a therapist that truly understands chronic illness,pain and reactive mental health issues that can certainly arise,especially during a pandemic. I have found Susan to be very knowledgeable with illness, navigating palitive issues, grieving while your still here and she has helped me navigate & understand my husband's recent health issues. I have been able to reconnect with people I have isolated myself from due to various issues and to gain the confidence needed to do so. When I started with Susan I was truly a mess, crying alot,anxiety,hyper focusing on the Pandemic & what it could mean to my high risk family, having to be isolated so much was very difficult. I feel far more relaxed,having stronger relationships and I am sleeping better,this is huge progress for me.

Susan was incredible! She made me feel very comfortable in my first session with her. I enjoyed the month I worked with her and feel much better mentally than when I had first started therapy. Thank You so much Susan. I highly recommend her!

Reviewed December 2021

Susan is wonderful and I finally found a therapist I can relate to in my session and she checks in on me at all times. What I am disappointed in is the way Betterhelp bills you until you find a therapist that works well for you. I have paid for 8 sessions and have only been able to book 2 sessions. I give Susan Weismann a big 10 and a lot less forBetterhelp’s billing policy.
