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.

Ruth Gus is a great therapist who is listens well and gives pertinent advice specific to your situation. Would highly recommend her to anyone.
Ruth has been such a great listener to me, and I've been able to untangle my feelings bit by bit.. Thanks Ruth!
Ruth has been supporting me to navigate a complex situation of work and family related issues. She took time to understand the issues before coming up with advice that is suited to my needs. I find this great help.
Ruth is a lovely and respectful woman. She listens and offers practical solutions but she does not enforce them. She leaves the decision to you. I would recommend her to everyone.
Ruth is kind and lets me speak my mind. She listens very carefully and catches intricate details. I highly appreciate her practical guidance and the new perspective that she provides.
Empathetic kind and professional, I wasn’t sure what to expect.. however Ruth gave me closure and validation on a situation that I was sitting on for a while feeling very lost and detached, therapy is a working personal progress and I was lucky enough to speak to a professional that is understanding and a great communicator.
I am very glad I took the steps to join better help and got Ruth . She has been a huge help and made me understand and appreciate so much more. I have seen improvements in my life since deciding to open up and speak to someone about life. Thank you Ruth
Highly recommend
It's my first session with Ruth and I already feel like a weight has been lifted. Shes kind, gentle and amazing at listening. Im really excited for my journey with Ruth
Ruth has been my go-to person from the day I started therapy. I have no words to explain how she has made a positive impact on me. I message her everyday and she takes the time to read all my messages and promptly responds to them. I have felt so much better after my sessions and regular catch ups with her. Cannot thank her enough, and I look forward to my sessions. I have got a lot of inner peace now, thanks to her!
She is a great therapist and I really enjoyed my session .
Ruth is a angel she has tried her best to help me thus far despite me being highly irregular in responsiveness
She is a really good listener I feel like ive known her for so long.
