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.

Happy I found her.
Dr. Chromy has been an amazing resource for me as I navigate difficult situations and life experiences I don't always know how to process on my own.
Great job. Listens well and gives great feedback.
Attentive, validating but also not afraid to provide perspective. What I needed.
Thank you, I know we have had only 2 sessions, but thank you. I appreciate having a space to ask questions and vent. I also appreciate your bright outlook as I don't always have that. Thank you
