Recent reviews
Stephanie is a great partner. We have an amazing rapport and work at the same level, so we can have a candid conversation and talk about the frustrations and tribulations of being an entrepreneur. It's great to hear from someone going through the same issues, and being able to count the wins when they do happen. She is a great listener and will circle back to important points or issues so you can figure it all out. She's helped me so much in my life and I'm looking forward to continuing our journey together!

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.

Always insightful and consistently compassionate. An absolute pleasure to work with.
Stephanie is empathetic, passionate, and very helpful! Love her!
Stephanie was very empathetic and listened to my concerns. I didn’t feel like a number and she was honest with her thoughts and how to support my therapy goals. My time with her was brief but I appreciated her ability to listen and ask questions that helped me think things through!
