If you are looking for a therapist that has the ability to merge book expertise with strategies you can apply in your everyday life, then this is who you need. I've always had a fear of working with a therapist. My fears were: They would drag out sessions with no sense of resolve in order to "Take Your Money" or they would be so left field about the theory that I wouldn't be able to use new knowledge in the crazy world we live in. Both of my fears were eliminated in our first conversation. Throughout each session I am able to see, with Mrs. Parker how wrong I was about therapy. I have renewed hope in my situation and even as an adult I am embracing new mindsets for a better future.

About online counseling

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.
