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.

Great insights from Mary It is helping me and am able to see the results

Just had one sitting with Mary so far, but I can tell you now the questions that Mary asks and her understanding on what's really going on has brought me so much further than my in office therapist that I've been visiting for almost 3 years now. She sets the mood right to make you feel seen, heard and understood (especially Safe) while also giving you very individualized tips that are simple to implement into life but help enourmously! I can only recommend Mary, especially for the people that have often felt misunderstood and not felt seen/heard lately.

Mary is a great listener and has terrific insights. She's patient with me and very supportive and encouraging. I get the feeling she really cares about my well-being, even when I am going through an especially difficult period and may not practice very good self-care. Offline, she responds quickly and thoughtfully to messages. I vigorously and confidently recommend Mary.
