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.

Reviewed March 2024

I have seen many therapists over the years and never really got anything out of going. Mary is unlike any of the other therapists I’ve seen. She is kind, compassionate, and challenges me when I need challenging. If you are looking for a therapist who won’t just coddle you (like I have needed for years), Mary is the person to talk too.

Mary Hafey is understanding and caring. She even took the time to call me outside of an appointment to check on me. I am a very difficult client and do listen to her advice although I am in denial and not good at following it.
