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.

Aen is amazing, I am very thankful to be working with such a wonderful therapist. She has helped me process a lot and continues to do so. I am looking forward to doing more work with her. :)
She's very positive and supportive and so far I am glad with my experience. Would highly recommend!
Aen has been such a blessing to me. She truly cares and is vested in what she does and in me as her patient. I can't say enough good things about her!
She has been very helpful to me in a difficult situation. She listens very well and picks her spots to give her perspective and feedback that feels natural and fits the moment. I also appreciate her non-judgmental position.
Friendly, easy to talk with and work towards goals/ your therapy needs.
Very good experience with Aen so far. Lets me express myself and always response with something useful. Also I never get the feeling of being on the clock!
I’ve only had one session but Aen made it very comfortable for me to feel my feelings. It was very a refreshing and safe environment.
Awn has been very helpful so far. I am more aware of what triggers me. I am more aware of symptoms of trauma, grief, and how to manage emotions safely. Aen has recommended worksheets and group sessions that pertain to trauma and grief. She listens and is supportive of good mental health while coping with trauma and grief.
