From our first session, Dr. Gina immediately knew what I needed to heal and allowed me the time to cry and rest while simultaneously finding ways to get me past my traumas. She was very patient and encouraged me to enjoy being in the present and to always be thankful. She talks to me like a girlfriend who is just there to listen, which is all anyone ever really wants.

About online counseling

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.

Great, attentive and caring
I have had a few therapist over the years but Dr.Gina is one of the few that I believe actually cares. And that in itself was very helpful in moving forward. She is incredibly consistent and encouraging and I'm grateful to have had the conversations to help transition into a more positive direction and narrative with myself and my life. Thank you!
I hate therapy but Dr. Coffaro makes me feel comfortable and is responsive and great
She is the best I’ve had hands down. Dr. Gina has a lot of knowledge and really opens the floor to allow me to speak what on my mind without judgement or making me feel any less of any decision I have made. I’m looking forward to unpacking my baggage with her.
Dr. coffaro has been extremely supportive and kind. She is easy to talk to and checks in regularly. Would highly suggest her!
She's great, listens and gives great direction.
Great Session.
Best therapist I have had by far! Very kind and compassionate
She has been very helpful in my starting journey
I have only been seeing Dr Coffaro for a short time but I can say I am very pleased. I feel comfortable with her, she is kind, gentle and a good listener. I know she has my best interest in mind and is gently helping me work through some very difficult matters. She is respectful and supportive of my beliefs and I know she is only a text or phone call away.
