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.

Cynthia has been great to work with.
Excellent Therapist. Listens compassionately and good at working through problems
Cynthia has provided me tremendous support as I navigate the trauma experienced with the sudden loss of my son. It’s a long process ahead of me to cope with my grief and I’m taking it day by day thanks to Cynthia.
Dr. Cynthia Young is a true blessing in my life. Her wisdom, compassion, and guidance have been instrumental in helping me navigate life's challenges. She has a unique ability to connect on a deep spiritual level, providing not only professional support but also uplifting my spirit. I'm grateful for her presence and the positive impact she's had on my journey.
Cynthia is lovely. Very nice energy and extremely professional. I have a great sense of comfort speaking with her.
I highly recommend Cynthia who is literally the best therapist I’ve experienced and I am so thankful that Cynthia is my therapist.
She’s a good listener and responds well with my concerns. Sends me work sheets to practice with my stress and anxiety
Great supportive and understanding Therapist
Beautiful person and excellent therapist
She is wonderful.
Cynthia is wonderful support for me around a challenging family situation. She is compassionate and quick to understand the issues and has offered me good ideas and helped find additional resources for me to seek even more support outside of our sessions. I have benefited a lot already from out first few sessions. So grateful to have her in my corner!
