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.

Heather is polite and kind. She always makes me feel heard.
It is so easy to talk to Heather. It is such a relief to have someone validate my feelings or give me a different way to view things depending on the situation. I’ve learned tools to help me cope with difficult situations and how to deal with them that is healthy. I’ve also been able to focus on self care and how important that is. I’m very comfortable with her and look forward to our time.
Heather is open-minded, supportive, and professional. I have only known her for a few sessions, but she has helped me feel better about a few things, and I hope that that's a good sign of things to come.
Very kind and thoughtful. Listens to me yap a lot high means the most to me.
