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.

- 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.

Stefanie has been so wonderful. She’s so clear and understanding. I highly recommend working with her.
Stefanie is so awesome! She is insightful and fun to talk to while also reading what I’m saying deftly and with care. We do exercises and worksheets when relevant. Working with her is collaborative and active and has been a huge help to me. She is dynamic and highly skilled. Can’t recommend her enough!
Stefanie is everything I could have asked for in a counselor. From the first session, she saw me very clearly and pinpointed exactly what my over-arching immediate issue is/was. She is engaging, interactive and curious; and actually is reading a book I was impressed by and told her about! I will always come back to her. <3
