I did therapy with Rachel for just a few short months, and even in that short time I've noticed my way of thinking about my issues changing for the better. She always listened to my thoughts and feelings, made sure she was understanding them correctly, and gave me thoughts and suggestions and asked thought-provoking questions that have helped me a lot, and I know will continue to help me!

About online counseling

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.
