Dr Werner is compassionate and caring. While offering times to laugh when appropriate and needed. She is exactly what I was hoping to find. Someone who will listen and understand but also not sugar coat and have the difficult conversations.

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.

Dr Werner is very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. She’s been incredibly helpful as I navigate a difficult time in my life.
I met with Dr. Werner when I was in an extremely low place and talking to her helped me identify the positives in life. Her advice and assistance greatly lifted my mood and I am grateful for our conversations. I am appreciative of the time she takes to understand my feelings and help me figure out how I can overcome the issues I am facing.
