I’ve was afraid of matching with a therapist that doesn’t understand me and would make things worse. I’ve had such a good experience with Heather that I regret not starting sooner.

Heather is the best listener I could ask for! She taught me about real tools and strategies to deal with anxiety, nightmares, and navigating relationships (personal and professional). She always made me feel heard and never belittled the concerns and stories I brought. I really felt like the solutions and tools were tailored to me and what resonated with me, not just generic, one-size-fits-all solutions.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.

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.
