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.

I think that Yana is an excellent listener and has helped me better understand the problem I am facing in my life.

Feb 2024

Yana and I have met for 2 sessions so far. I changed a few therapists in multiple states to finally match with Yana. My issues were insidious at this point and I had baggage from more than a decade ago. Yana effectively addressed my shame, trauma, PTSD from the first session itself. Now instead of feeling triggered and distracted by my former triggers, I feel good about myself and the critical lessons I learned from the situation and Yana’s perspective.

I’ve only been working with Yana a couple months now, but she has helped me more than any other therapist I’ve had on better help. She has opened my eyes in a way I didn’t think possible and I look forward to our sessions each week!

Yana is a great listener and remembers details about my family. She also holds the right balance of listening and offering advice. She’s absolutely wonderful
