I’ve tried therapy several different times switching therapists and practices. Just when I was ready to throw in the towel I was matched with Lisa. We’ve made huge strides in not only my mental health journey but also my overall health. She has several different techniques I’ve never been introduced to as well as the ability to actually connect and help me open up. With past therapists I’ve had a hard time opening up or knowing where to even begin but with Lisa it has come very natural to discuss concerns. Specifically she had supported my sobriety, anxiety, depression and relationship issues. She’s never late never rushes me always remembers past conversations we’ve had and takes the time to work with me one on one even when don’t have appointments scheduled.

Lisa is an amazing therapist! She’s offered a large number of ways to help me manage stress, anxiety and guilt! It is always a pleasure to have an appointment with her. She does not judge you for anything whatsoever. I cannot recommend her enough!

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.
