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.

Sharon is incredible at her job. Kind, compassionate, helpful - bringing clarity and understanding to her job with enthusiasm and joy. You feel held by Sharon, guided by her when you want help, and always listened to. She meets you where you are, with no judgement. There's nothing I wouldn't feel comfortable brining to a session. She is phenomenal.

Sharon is honestly the best therapist I think I've had in 14 years of seeking therapy. She's attentive, understanding, kind, caring. She really pays attention and remembers details from sessions that even I forget. I look forward to every session with Sharon. It feels like having a chat with a good friend. Highly recommend this incredible woman!

Jun 2023

From the very first session, I was struck by Sharon's exceptional ability to listen attentively, creating a safe and non-judgmental space where I felt comfortable sharing my deepest thoughts and emotions. She has an incredible talent for empathizing with clients, and her kind and warm demeanor immediately put me at ease. I genuinely felt heard and understood during every session. During our sessions we were able to home in on the core issues and she helped me gain new perspectives on the challenges I was facing. I wholeheartedly recommend Sharon to anyone seeking a therapist who is not only empathetic and kind but also incredibly knowledgeable and skilled. Thank you, Sharon, for your exceptional work and the positive influence you have had on my journey of self-discovery.
