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.

Awesome therapist
Peter Mburu has been so helpful as I am starting out on this journey to care for my own mental health. The world is often a scary and confusing place and he listens and offers practical suggestions that I am able to put in place right away. I feel hopeful about the work I am doing for myself!
In just a few sessions, Peter has been so helpful in helping me change my mindset and giving me practical things I can do to take action in my life. I'm so happy we got matched together!
Great guy! Very professional and a good listener.
Peter has been so monumental in my healing process. He helped me look at things from different perspectives. He is really compassionate and creates a safe environment. I felt so comfortable sharing anything with him. He shared so many coping skills with me that I was able to implement everyday. I’m so greatly to have been matched with him. I was hesitant to start therapy but he made this experience extremely rewarding.
Mr. Mburu is a very competent therapist, who is able to actively help you come up with solutions and stategies in order to cope with whatever you might need help
I’m soooo grateful to have Mr. Peter as my therapist! He has been a tremendous help in my struggle. He always keeps me engaged. I highly recommend him.
