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.

I truly don't have enough great things to say about Dr. Kim. She is respectful, listens and offers great insights. She remembers our conversations, even from months ago and I never feel like I have to repeat old information because she is so on top of it. Our time spent together is truly my favorite hour of the week and I can both see and feel the great improvements I have made in our time together. I have even started to hear from friends/family the growth they see that I have made and it truly is because of my work with Kim. She is never judgmental and I feel that I can fully share everything without having to hold back or worry what she will say or think.
