About online counseling

- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.

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 worked with Sheila for a few months now and working with her has been wonderful
All i can say is the best of the best
Sheila has helped me navigate several hard habits and situational thought patterns. 10/10 recommend. She is kind and gives actual tools that help manage anxiety and challenge routine thought patterns.
I just had my first session with Ms. Ahmadi. I am so pleased to have her as my therapist. I like her a lot!!!! Thank you for an excellent choice!!! I could not have picked someone better on my own!
First I’d like to say it took A LONG time before I found the right therapist. Sheila made me feel comfortable from the our first session and onward. She’s given me different perspectives that I hadn’t thought of, she’s kind, understanding, and reassuring. She also send me notes of encouragement and to check. She responds back in a timely manner when I message her. Simply a 100 out of 100!
Professional, caring, and flexible
Sheila was so easy to talk to and made me feel comfortable since our first appointment. She helped me establish clear goals that we tracked each week and that helped me monitor my progress. She was extremely resourceful and checked in with me once a week outside of our scheduled appointments. She truly cares about her patients and was an absolute pleasure to work with.
Sheila Ahmadi is excellent and I am looking forward to working with her as I navigate through a very difficult time in my life.
She is the best ever. Will listen and help in everyway
She is very patient and understanding. I love her !!
