About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- 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.

Most helpful thoughtful compassionate therapist
Cynthia is very professional and really listens to what i say. Excellent listener and good sound feedback and therapy. She goes the extra mile to schedule a short notice sessions in and reshedule a session if something comes up with me. I highly recomend her.
Mrs. Cynthia is a thoughtful and helpful therapist who really helps me focus on proactively solving problems. Whenever I speak with Mrs. Cynthia she makes me feel heard and cared about. 10/10 recommend!
Excellent therapist very insightful
My therapist is awesome and very attentive to my needs.
I have considered therapy for a while. I finally worked up the courage and tried BettetHelp. I’ve only had one therapist with BetterHelp, but I could not have found a better match with Cynthia. She has taken the edge and anxiety out of the “process” and had created an environment that feels like we are just talking, but talking with a purpose.
Cynthia has truly been a God send to me! I wanted a therapist who would take time to listen to me and help me actually work through my issues. Although there are many, I know Cynthia is committed to helping me end this cycle and truly understand how to have a life worth living. At our first visit I told her I wanted a therapist to hold my feet to the fire as I was tired of running. She works hard to give me the time I need to express myself, she provides invaluable materials that assist me in my journey. She has a genuine heart and you can tell how much she truly cares. She is always responsive to me when I need her and I have never felt rushed. I feel important to her. I am so glad I have found her!
Cynthia is affirming and supportive. She is helpful with suggestions and revisits goals to keep the therapy focused. She respects my input and invites me to decide on the direction of therapy.
Highly recommend.
Cynthia was truly a God send. She helped me and gave me the confidence to make some big decisions in my life.
All of my interactions with Cynthia have been extremely pleasant, she is a great sounding board and has offered good advice and guidance to me in difficult times.
This experience has been invaluable
It's only been two sessions and I feel confident that I will defeat my battle. She is attentive and proactive which reassures me that I can do this.
My therapy has not been going on long but she is very supportive

My 1st experience speaking ti Mrs.Cynthia was great I love her . She listened to everything I had to say
