About online counseling

Affordable.

Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
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.

Reviewed June 2023

Wanda has been great. I originally came to her when I was overwhelmed by things in my daily life. She was able to hear me out, help me to process my thoughts & feelings, and recommend things I could do to realign my feelings with my logic. Fortunately, my situation was short lived. But my time with Wanda was impressive enough that I am trying to keep on with counseling to work on other areas of my life.

Reviewed April 2023

I worked with Wanda through a very difficult time in my life--dealing with family and professional issues that I needed help working through. Wanda's down-to-earth style, ability to restate questions so that I knew she understood what I was saying, and collaborative, empathetic approach were just what I needed. I took her voice with me as I worked through a family relationship issue successfully. I was able to think through the professional issue and rebalance my life with her help. I would strongly recommend Wanda and, if and when other issues arise for me, I know she'll be there for me.

Wanda has been helping me for quite a few months now….we “hit it off” at the very first session. She is always very encouraging and understanding of my feelings. A couple of the great things that I have experienced with Wanda (and there is many more) are that she shows me a different perspective of what I think is “reality” and supports me through my struggles. I never feel judged or put down for my feelings. Wanda has been a great strength for me and I’m so glad we connected.
