I made more self growth in the first week of therapy with Matthew than I have in years and I feel better than I have in a long time too. Looking forward to more progression!

Matthew was great to work with. We got right to the heart of helping solve my issues with trauma. He is easy to talk to, prompt, and enlightened me on what my mind and body were actually doing to stay safe! A lot of progress in just 1 month so far!

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.
