Denise is exactly the therapist I needed when I didn't know where to turn. Intuitively given to listening and giving support, able to transmit peace and understanding with patience, no matter what circumstances, she was able to suggest a practical and clear way forward geared towards overcoming what each of my issues presented. I would highly recommend Denise, especially for communicating clearly via video link but also via private messages through the app, as a particularly gifted therapist and trust there'll be new encounters.

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.
