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! Hands down the best therapist ive worked with. So honest and consideration
The best therapist I've ever had the pleasure of working with. Professional, very knowledgeable, kind, understanding, passionate, patient and very well studied. She has a lot of professional and life experience to draw from. It's hard not to feel better after simply talking to her.
Katherine is such an amazing therapist, she listens to you and lets you choose what you would like to talk about. Guiding you slowly. She makes me feel like she really understands me and knows what is going through my mind. She is very kind and funny as well which makes talking to her easier.
