About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.

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.

Teresa is a great therapist. She really listened and heard where I was needing direction V. Challenge for growth and gentleness
I bring all sorts of questions to Teresa, not just for behavioral help but to get her feedback on how to respond to different situations. It's been very nice to have her to discuss all-things life!
Teresa is so very insightful, firm to ensure I work at the identified issues, but always respectful and kind. She clearly has my best interest in mind, and creatively provides method and ideas how to address challenges.
Teresa is amazing. Helping me through tremendous trauma.
I never thought I’d like therapy or feel like I could open up to someone. I’ve only met with Teresa a few times but she is amazing. She is always kinda and there for me. She listens and doesn’t judge but helps.
Teresa helps me understand myself, helps me practice self compassion, and maintains a holistic view in self healing a person. I didn't know that therapy would be this helpful for my emotions, she is a very good listener and doesn't neglect any problems that someone might be facing.
Teresa is excellent, responsive, a great listener, and insightful . Very helpful
After 3 sessions, Teresa has been a beacon of calm and insight. Very very good active listener. Dealing with significant trauma and fear and she has been a tremendous help.
Teresa has helped me so much in just 2 sessions. I look forward to meeting with her again so I can continue to better myself!
Doesnt believe in therapy to fix people, but rather therapy to give the skills needed to fix themselves.
She listened to me when no one else did in my house
Teresa is a good Therapist and a very nice person. She’s nonjudgmental and easy to talk to.
