Ya she's great

Feb 2024

I respond very well to her style of therapy. Much more like a conversation that something clinical. She always listens to me and gives me examples that relate to her own life and situation that gives me context and validation to what I am feeling or experiencing. I cannot imagine having any other therapist. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a way to decompress, learn, and share.

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.
