She creates a very comfortable, casual atmosphere in our sessions that makes it feel safe to talk about whatever I need to talk about and to be vulnerable and honest. It's something I've struggled to find in other therapists in the past, and I think it's been absolutely essential to the progress that I've been able to make with her guidance.

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

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.

She is wonderful! I thought my problems were small for others and weren’t worth talking about, but she has a way of showing that, no matter how small a problem may seem, if it’s big enough to you, it’s important to talk about. She gave me that platform to air out my frustrations on some issues and it has helped so much. She also gave a lot of advice related to those issues that have helped!
Nikki is awesome!!!!
Nicole has been a phenomenal resource for me. She is kind, accepting, and she validates emotions without allowing me to let them get the best of me. She has helped me tremendously with an eating disorder and the only reason I am stopping service with her is that an in network therapist is finally available for me. She is patient, kind, and most importantly I never once felt judged by her.
She’s great
She is very nice and validating. She listens to me and makes me feel heard.
