I really have seen a remarkable improvement in my life since starting with Jill. She is very astute and has this supernatural ability to home in and offer exactly what is needed - whether it be a solution, laughing at my joke, offering an affirmation, etc. She immediately gave me the tools I needed, taught me how to use them, and how to get better at using them. I leave every session knowing I will succeed in my journey.

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.

Jill is a thoughtful, compassionate, and wise soul to speak with. I believe she really takes the time to know where people are coming from and is an excellent partner to help unravel complex problems with. She gives concrete ideas and is very responsive during and between appointments. I appreciate her perspective and the peace she brings.
I have really enjoyed my time with Jill so far. I look forward to our conversations each week. It feels like I’m talking to a friend, a fellow Mom, and someone that understands my perspective and gives me sound advice and everyday tools that I can practice and incorporate into my daily life. Meeting online is also the only way I could fit this important weekly conversation into my life as a full time working wife and Mom of two small children, so it’s very convenient.
