She’s a great listener and Validates your concerns

Jun 2024

Kimberly Ochester has been very helpful to me since my therapy started in December of the past year. She has gotten me to figure out different areas that I know that I needed to improve on and gave me great suggestions and support. I feel much better and happier about my current life since I started the therapy. I highly recommend her as a therapist.

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.

Mar 2024

Kim is very knowledgeable and helpful when it comes to anxiety and anxiety-related disorders. She was able to offer practical life solutions for every day anxieties that helped me tremendously. She got me to realize that my standards were not realistic (rather perfectionistic), and she walked me through how to cope with daily stress resulting from fear and fear of failure. She is also very non-judgmental and professional. I learned a lot during our time together.
