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.

Overall rating:
she is the best therapist i’ve ever had, and has helped me grow so much
Tamara has been a huge blessing in my life. Very much appreciate her principles and practice
Tamara is such a kind soul who listens to not just what you are saying but what you are not saying. It’s like she knows what I’m feeling before I even say it and already has a plan to help me through it. When I say my time with her has been life changing, I totally mean it.
She makes me feel safe.
Tamara has been great in the short time working with her. Very responsive, compassionate and honest. Provides lots of great tools to help with daily stressors and follows up to see how things are going. I’ve recommended her and this platform to several people I know.
Tamara has been a huge help coaching me through difficult social situations at my job, and we've just started therapy recently. I am recognizing a significant difference in my life from starting counciling. Ready to venture forth with the right support.
