Catherine is the best therapist I could ever have asked for. She's able to help me identify deeper reasons for my feelings and experiences and also finds great ways for me to cope with everything & make life better for myself.

Reviewed November 2024

Catherine is very empathetic and professional. She listens attentively and that's so pivotal for me because as a patience I need to feel that on the other side the person is really listening to what I am saying. Her questions are helping me in my self-discovery journey, and last but not least she is helping me to keep myself accountable challenging my thoughts and this has so much value for me...if I am not stretch how can I expect to grow?

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.
