Sarah's presence during counseling is comforting. She provides experience and hope that is needed. I love talking with her.

Jul 2024

I feel like I have made a lot of progress in a short time. Sarah knows what questions to ask and really makes me think hard and do a lot of self reflecting. She’s not afraid to ask the hard questions.

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.

One word: Phenomenal!!! She is absolutely phenomenal. She explaining things and has me realizing things I never have before. It’s like I’m looking at my situation from someone else’s perspective. I have recommended her to many of my friends and colleagues.

Very good

Apr 2024

Sarah has been incredibly helpful in giving me the tools to help manage my feelings of anxiety, understand the feelings I’ve been unable to put a name to, and overall manage my thoughts towards things that are out of my control. She is encouraging and a calming presence, and I look forward to our weekly calls.
