Soraya is an excellent therapist. Kind, compassionate and sharp… she can quickly and skillfully understand, articulate and analyze your innermost feelings, and provide comfort, while still gently providing you with tools and suggestions to deal with difficult situations and emotions. I am so grateful I was matched with her.

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.
