I’ve only met with Michelle once. So I can’t speak much to the results, only the contact we’ve had to set up the meeting and what the purpose was.

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 helped me to become a happy, confident person! When I first started I was crying through every session and I felt like I had no friends. Even thought I knew I was a mess, I never felt judged or belittled by Michelle. While working with Michelle I was able to create distance from people that weren't treating me well while strengthening the healthy relationships I have. She's so easy to talk to and she encouraged and supported me when I needed it most. Michelle equipped me with tools to get out of my negative way of thinking and I am so happy with how I can handle difficult situations now. She's shown me that I don't have to prepare for the worst case scenario at all times, because it's really not much fun always waiting for disaster. I now have a positive outlook on life thanks to the work I've done with Michelle.

Michelle has been a blessing in disguise. She has helped me in so many ways. I have grown and have gotten stronger mentally . I have learned how to cope with my anxiety and negative thoughts. Talking to Michelle from the very beginning was a breeze. She put me at ease right away and I felt like I had known her for such a long time . I look forward to our weekly sessions. She remembers my likes and dislikes , she know when something is off with me and she always checks in . During our sessions I feel like I’m talking to a long time friend not “my therapist”. I’m so glad I looked for help and connected with Michelle !
