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.

She did an awesome job of really listening to me and giving me tools to help me tap into my real life! She gave me a different perspective on therapy and how important it is.
Brandais is incredible. She has the perfect balance of listening, acknowledging/validating, and great insight/suggestions. She is very sympathetic and understanding, never belittling or judgmental. I have always left a session feeling better, enlightened, and inspired. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone struggling who is looking for an open-minded and experienced therapist!
So caring even reaches out on the days we don’t have sessions to see how my day is going
