She has been great! She understands that we are not all in the same place and that life is a rollercoaster, effected by internal and external events. She listens, and pushes the hard topics. Which is what I need.

I am so happy I was connected with Racheal. She is a wonderful therapist that not only leaves space for me to explain how I’m feeling, but also asks questions that help me find solutions that will work for me. She then gives me examples of how to apply those solutions or strategies to other parts of my life. I feel very comfortable during my sessions with Racheal.

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.

- 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.
