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.

Susan is wonderful. She's patient, kind and understanding, but she knows when to balance that with accountability and difficult conversations. Her demeanor and technique match my needs perfectly.

Susan “gets it”. I’m not sure what it is about her, maybe her education, possibly her life experiences, but she gets it. She is relatable, understanding, patient, and invested. I really feel like she wants to help me and not just listen. I really appreciate her and look forward to our weekly meetings.
