From the moment I started working with Erika, she has been a supportive and kind professional. She’s an amazing listener and always has something useful and positive to add. She makes me feel like I’m capable of change and she offers her perspective without being pushy or demanding. I strongly recommend this wonderful therapist.

About online counseling

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.
