About online counseling

Affordable.

Convenient.

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.

Sharmian has been my saving grace. She is everything and more that I have needed. She has exceeded my expectations with therapy by a knock out! I am forever thankful for this app and finding her for me.

Reviewed November 2022

She is great. She offers encouragement, encourages me to push past my comfort zone to accomplish goals, but never past what I'm truly ready to do. She listens and offers great feedback. Time truly flies by, but I always come away feeling...better. Thankful for her and this experience. I just knew I'd be canceling after my trial period when I signed up, but that's over this week and I have zero intentions of canceling any time in the near future!
