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.

Amazing !
Kalisha understands how to communicate with her clients things that she sees that we wouldn't see while in a situation - much like that parable about the fish looking for the water while swimming in it. If you're emotionally distressed about a situation and need a breather, Kalisha can help you install that boundary and work through the emotions to clearly see which behavior is enabling the situation to continue. With humor, kind frankness and sensitivity, Kalisha has helped me and I believe she can help you too.
Enjoyed my therapy sessions with Kalisha very much.
Very kind and understanding. Relatable and relevant thinking. She has good perspective and can make you think differently if you don’t see a different way.
Kalisha is a wonderful therapist! When something goes on in my life, I look forward to discussing it with her. I strongly value my conversations with her as they me realign. She is kind, a great listener, and offers valuable input. I'd strongly recommend her to others.
I transitioned to a new job and was struggling with anxiety and had lost all of my confidence. Kalisha was a strong support to help me succeed. She provided me with tools to control my anxiety and regain my confidence.
When I first met Kalisha, I was in shambles, she listened to me carefully and thanks to her I stayed optimistic, she made me see things I wasn't seeing. She has helped me understand terms I didn't know and taught me how to practice empathy. I feel understood and heard by a professional.
Finding someone I can genuinely connect to has been hard. But the understanding, the letting me know my place, helping me with the anxiety and life stressors , has helped a lot. I am still a work in progress but happy to have my therapist.
Thank you
Kalisha was great in helping me to move on from a toxic relationship. She is a great listener and always provides excellent feedback to however you may be feeling. I would recommend her to anyone going through a tough time in any kind of a relationship.
She was amazing. Listened to everything and all my problems and made everything seem so simple. She's amazing
I feel safe having conversations with her. Easy to talk to about anything, and a fun personality.
Kalisha is amazing at helping me sift through my thoughts and get to the root of the issue. I feel like she guides me to the answers I already know deep down. It's pretty awesome to feel the process as it happens!
She is very friendly and lawyers really well. You can tell she cares about how you are feeling and what is going on. I really enjoyed talking to her. She made me feel very heard and very comfortable
