Nellie is the best! I feel so supported, seen and heard by her. She has taught me so much and makes me feel validated, all while pushing me to become better in my day to day habits/relationship issues. She also is Latina, so I love how relatable she is in sessions.

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.
