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.

With the little time that I've had with Erica I've grown to see that she is an amazing therapist. She's always ready to receive me, she answers in the timely manner but she's also very knowledgeable with the situations that I've dealt with in the past. I would definitely recommend her to any friend or colleagues who need help.

I took a couple of years to finally talk with someone, and when the time came, Erica made this so much easier than i thought it would be. She’s so professional, easygoing and know exactly how to work with people. Now I even look forward to my therapy sessions. I really believe that will change my life.

I start working with Erica about a month ago. She's always made me feel really comfortable. She listens with an open mind and really tries to understand what I'm going through. I've gotten a few "homework" assignments and I've really enjoyed them - it helps keep me accountable in the times when we cannot meet. She gives me practical, honest and supportive guidance, so that I can go out into my life confidently.
