I was very skeptical about therapy in general and Colleen completely changed my mind about that. I look forward to sessions with her all week and feel like the best frame of mind i am in all week is following sessions with her. Her knowledge and expertise are second to none, and she is always able to send me in a positive direction, no matter where our conversation goes

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.

- 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.
