Hi, I'm Colleen Washington, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I've worked with an array of clients over the years which include focuses in anxiety/depression disorders, eating disorders and substance abuse disorders. I take pride in getting to know my clients and form a calm, comforting space for them to unload. I look forward to meeting you and starting your journey to wellness.
I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with a person centered approach that allows for my client to share their experiences in a non-judgmental space.

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.
