Tara is a really nice woman that takes her time with your issues. She’s not afraid to make a session last slightly longer than it’s supposed to. She always make sure the patient expressed everything they wanted to and if it’s not the case she will make a priority to address it at the next session. She’s really nice and emphatic and I think she’s good to adapt to your needs and the way you want to heal.

About online counseling

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.
