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.

Ericka is so welcoming and so easy to talk :) she is the best!
I really felt comfortable and respected during my session with Erica. She has a great therapeutic affect, and manages to be caring while professional. I also felt that she was listening actively to try to guide me toward improving my own process in a gentle but constructive way.
I’ve really appreciated Ericka. She’s very wise and knowledgeable but I mostly am grateful for how she listens and doesn’t make me feel judged. She’s also very patient. She reminds me a lot of my friend Robin who used to mentor me. I feel like I learn a lot from her and our conversations.
She is great at understanding how I’m feeling and my situation . She works towards understanding and peeling back the layers to best help me move forward with constructive advice.
