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.

Nico has been a great therapist for me. He was my first and only therapist. I went in not knowing what to expect and he made me feel comfortable and happy to share my thoughts in the session. I really appreciate him taking the time to listen to me, and helping me to unpack my own thoughts and feelings and see a clearer path. I would recommend him to anyone thinking to start the journey of therapy.
