About online counseling

Affordable.

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.

Anita has a naturally calm presence free of judgement. She helped me approach goals and tasks that I had avoided for so long because of my anxiety. She helped to ground me in reality instead of cognitive distortions. I have better confidence in myself and my abilities because of her guidance. I am now living the life I want instead of the one I dreamed of.

I started meeting with Anita when I was desperate and hopeless, and she always gave me a reason to smile, which was so important! She would send me resources outside of our sessions that were helpful in everyday life when it came to managing my anxiety and conquering my fears. I am so sad to leave her, but I can leave because of the help that she has given me.

Reviewed August 2022

I started working with Anita at a time when experiencing extreme situational anxiety from the overwhelm of life transformations and personal beliefs. She helped me find balance in my life over about 4 months of weekly sessions. Anita was always very genuine and I felt comfortable discussing my thoughts and concerns with her. During our sessions she provided insightful feedback that continue to stick with me in day to day life. I really appreciate her willingness to check in on me in between sessions and the genuine conversations we were able to have during live sessions. With her support and my willingness to change I’m now at a place where I am happy with my life and the balance I’ve found. Thanks Anita!
