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.

Highly recommended -E gets it and it is a great help to me knowing she's there
Elisa is an incredibly intelligent and nuanced therapist, which is great for someone who feels that they have a sufficient amount of self-awareness while also realizing there is use for a professional to provide a structured, dogmatic approach to indefinable feelings of grief and loss.
Elisa was really wonderful. I have a chronic medical condition and she helped me process a lot of my feels around that. I definitely recommend her :).
Elisa was so wonderful! She helped me in a time of crisis for me, and really helped me notice a few things about myself I can now be aware of, and work on. She is a great listener, knowledgeable, asked questions, made me feel comfortable and heard, plus was genuinely nice. I went the phone call route, since easier to talk in my car at lunch. I am so thankful we were matched up. I would definitely recommend Elisa!
Have been instrumental in my journey as a mother and wife while navigating a career and other relationships/family.
Elisa is an incredibly kind, patient, reliable source of support for me. I have worked through peaks and valleys with her, and, in reflecting on our time together so far, I realize I couldn't be happier with it. She is a friend to me in addition to a therapist in the sense that we share experiences with one another openly, and I value and appreciate that quality of our relationship immensely. She is also very gentle and deliberate in her work helping me understand the perspectives I share with her through new angles/ lenses, which helps me greatly to process and refresh my mindset continuously. Thank you, Elisa!

Elisa is really awesome. I’ve been living with a complex, chronic medical condition since I was a teenager and navigating life and relationships while also trying to manage a health condition like mine is tough. Elisa has made it a lot easier. :)
