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.

Michelle is the best!! I always feel like I’m talking to a friend, and I find it easy to tell her anything that’s on my mind. She has a helpful perspective and a unique insight to my life.

She's patient and a good listener. She offers direction that isn't overwhelming when I get anxious about getting things done, socializing, or keeping up with life.

Michelle was always a breath of fresh air. Talking to her always helped things make sense. And even when I wasn’t able to make a session, she was there to chat with me when I needed. She always listened to my needs and concerns when I felt like nobody else did. She also helped me overcome a lot of irrational fears that I had. When I was so concerned about everyone else she reminded me that what I felt and wanted was important as well.
