About online counseling
- Affordable.

- 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.

She’s amazing and very reliable!
Christy has been such a valuable resource in my life over the last year, and I couldn't be more appreciative and thankful. I started therapy after some unexpected trauma, and have now reached a point where I feel confident with the tools at my disposal to navigate the next steps. I've healed from past hurt, strengthened relationships with family and friends, and feel significantly more confident about where I'm headed personally. This would have been a much harder journey without Christy. She listened, challenged, provided alternative perspectives, held me accountable, and asked me tough questions. She was always kind, inviting, and created an environment where I felt comfortable sharing some of my most hurtful and happy moments. I would recommend Christy to anyone who is looking to become a better you.
Very helpful
Christy is the best thing that I have done for myself. Her personality allows me to be completely comfortable and open. For me, feeling judged is a difficulty and Christy does not make me feel that way at all. Her advice is very well thought out and has truly made a difference in my mental health.
Christy is very professional and really knows what she is talking about. Our conversations are thoughtful and productive- she is always helping me to develop new tools.
Christy is extremely responsive and supportive. I appreciate her insight and support!
I've been working with Christy for about 8 weeks now. She is compassionate, knowledgeable and a tremendous addition to my mental health. She can challenge my thinking in appropriate and constructive ways, offers action-oriented solutions and I feel heard during every conversation with zero judgement. I would recommend Christy to anyone who is seeking therapy.
Christy is a wealth of information and is super empathetic. It has been great working with her!
Christy is just the best! She’s exactly what I need in a therapist. She challenges me in a gentle way but it’s always helpful. She keeps things light and breezy so it feels like you are just talking to a close friend. I can’t recommend her enough!
Christy, is just amazing.
So far on my journey, Christy has been very helpful in providing compassionate insights and constructive perspectives. Her genuine attention, intelligence, and support has made me very hopeful in accessing a better version of myself. After feeling removed from this version for so long, feeling a confidence in myself is a testament to her guidance.
I have received a lot of help from Christy. She is attentive, caring, understanding, and most importantly she is helpful! I have enjoyed my sessions with her and feel that I am making progress each week. I'm very thankful to have started this process and Christy has been instrumental in my progress.
