Karen Bergman allows me to express myself freely, even when I feel I make no sense, she gets me to a point of clarity. She's a great listener, very direct, and her reasoning serves as an anchor in moments when I'm all over the place. Only 2 video meets in and I feel that she can definitely continue to keep me on course to reach my personal goals. I appreciate her support and genuine attentiveness. She's the 1st therapist I was assigned to and I plan on continuing with her. Thank you for caring. All the best!

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.

Karen is great. She is really helping me to open up and deal with childhood issues that have affected me.
Karen Bergman has been helping me with video therapy for about 3 months now. She is insightful and caring and I have appreciated all of her help. Her soft demeanor allows me to feel a gentle guiding approach without judgement or aggression. I highly recommend Karen if you are looking to find answer within yourself.
