I am very grateful that Monique is working with me. I have had 2 sessions with her so far and she is professional and approachable. She is helping me set goals and develop healthier behaviors and is willing to challenge my thought processes. I wasn't really able to articulate what I needed going into the first session and she was very perceptive and determined what we should work on first.

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.

Monique has been a wonderful therapist. My life situation included a lot of details and context that needed to be kept up with in order to make sense of things. She was able to truly listen to me and keep track of everything to help me make sense of it all and support me through making some major changes that I needed to make in my life. 10/10 Would recommend!

I have seen several therapists, and after losing my health insurance, I tried BetterHelp for the first time a few months ago and was paired with Monique. She is PHENOMENAL. She is direct in the most caring way, and she's the first therapist I've ever talked to who I honestly felt was being honest and straightforward with me. I trusted her right away, and she continues to work with me and support me in the hard work required for changing and growing.

When I first met Monique I was in a terrible place. I was dealing with a lot of past trauma that was destroying my relationship and personal self-esteem. Monique helped me discover some good things about myself that helped me gain love for myself . She taught me skills to deal with intense emotions and helped me identify some negative thought patterns that were causing me to do irrational things . She helped me find myself again ! With the skills I learned from her, I was able to save my relationship and make it better! She was there for me anytime I needed her. I could message her questions anytime and she always got back to me . Monique is more than a therapist, she was very kind and always very helpful. I feel very grateful for all the skills I learned from her and I will always think of her first if I find myself needing a therapist in the future. I would highly recommend Monique to anyone seeking help She is an awesome person and I'm happy I met her Thank you Monique, you get a 5 star
