About online counseling

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.

Came at just the right time in my life. I just had to get over the hill! She helped tremendously
She is so compassionate, gentle, understanding but also direct with a great sense of tact. I was a mess. Ugly crying, shaking, falling apart…she took all of that and made me feel…human. She is incredibly empathetic and genuinely cares to know and understand me. Not just my issues. She almost feels like a friend I’ve had since grade school or something.
