About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- 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.

New to therapy, Vanisha was amazing in quelling my fears, and was wonderful listener and a great support. I felt heard, seen and understood and was able to share some major challenges I had been facing over the years with her...at first timidly, but her demeanor enabled me to finally be vulnerable. Vanisha took her time in offering different perspectives and potential solutions for my anxiety. I would highly recommend Vanisha to anyone looking to dig deeper and identify root causes and attainable ways to address and work through them. I also appreciated that there were specific manageable assignments and that she shared scriptures for refreshment as I was open to them. This deep work has helped me significantly and I am thankful I began this process.
She is a blessing.
Vanisha is kind, incisive, and professional. I have so much growth and quite a few breakthroughs in the relatively short amount of time we’ve worked together. She always gives a strong dose of truth with every insight. I always look forward to our appointments. Highly recommended!
God sent. Saving my life by unpacking trauma I didn’t even realize I needed to sort out. Supportive, helpful, and although i cry at the end my sessions i feel lighter and better.
Vanisha is understanding and kind. She challenges me to go deeper in my self-reflection, guiding me through the meanders of my mind. I feel a sense of overwhelming relief after speaking with her. I couldn’t recommend her more!
