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.

Overall rating:
Austin has been amazing since our very first session. He challenges and pushes me with his bow ledge a d feedback. He makes the conversations comfortable and he’s easy to talk to.
A great therapist who makes himself available. He is flexible and supportive . Would highly recommend.
I have been searching for a therapist for a while now, I can’t believe how easy it was with better help to find a good match. Austin is great, he listens and ask those questions that make you think, he has great awareness and will point out distorted thinking and hidden fears, he is not one of those passive counselors who only listen to you talk and ask how did this make you feel. He is engaged and I text him any time some thing comes to my mind and he respond timely. It is like you have a great emotional support at your finger tips.
He’s been great! 10/10, would recommend.
Working with Austin is a great experience! I feel like I’m growing in a positive direction and understanding myself more each time.
Dr.Kay is the best. He will provide you with methods to improve the situations you are in and really takes the time to listen and is very patient. I clicked with him right away and he changed my life.
Austin is great, he has helped me put my relationship back on track. His analogies are on point. I'd recommend gim to anyone with relationship trouble or even personal doubting issues.
He's a pretty cool and helpful guy :)
I like Austin a lot, however after one meeting don’t you think it’s a little early for a survey of this detail?
Great therapist! He has me understanding a ton more about what's going on within myself.
