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.

Amazing therapy experience
Wajda’s compassionate and understanding nature has greatly helped me in my mental health journey. I’m so grateful to have had her as my therapist and would highly recommend!
Very sensitive and I feel safe with her. I feel true care and attention - unconditional. She did not judge me and did not push for particular decisions. She supported me when I decided to go to surgery and the same support when I canceled the surgery and decided to try another approach. I'm happy for her support.
Wajda has helped me with issues that have been plaguing me for years. The biggest struggle was finding someone who would understand me and not judge me. I can safely say I’ve found that in her.
She is always there, listens and helps me a lot, I recommend her
I am writing to express my heartfelt appreciation for the support and guidance Wajda has provided to me throughout our sessions. Her warm and non-judgmental attitude has encouraged me to openly share my feelings and challenges, and I am sincerely grateful for her patient listening and thoughtful responses. Despite the fact that I am not a native English speaker, our communication has been seamless. Wajda takes the time to explain everything to me in a way that ensures I feel supported and cared for. I feel fortunate to have Wadja as my psychologist.
Very helpful and insightful.
Wajda is helping me to work out how to move forward.

Wajda is very kind, non judgmental and empathetic. I can recommend her!
One of the best decisions I’ve made is to get a therapist and I am so glad to have worked with Wajda. She made me feel at ease even when the questions were difficult, and listened compassionately. In the end, I found clarity, confidence, and courage after exploring various aspects of my life. If I ever need therapy again in the future, I will definitely go to Wajda.
Very active listener, lot of care and empathy. I always feel positive after my sessions.
