Suzie is absolutely wonderful, and I truly appreciated being matched with her as my therapist. She's very compassionate, understanding, easy to talk with and open up to. One of the things that I appreciated most was Suzie never made me feel uncomfortable or judged at any point, which was one of my biggest concerns before starting therapy and why I was hesitant to begin in the first place. Another thing I enjoyed was how she celebrates the little successes of life along with me, some of which I didn't even identify myself as successes until she began to celebrate and cheer me on. I'm very thankful I took the step to start therapy and even more thankful to have been connected with Suzanne.

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.

I really enjoy having Suzanne to speak with. She always brings a positive attitude and her listening skills are on point. Speaking with Suzanne reminds me of speaking with a close friend about life's troubles. I have yet to have a session with Suzanne where I have not left felling better and equipped with skills to help me.
I was very comfortable talking with Suzanne and felt she understood me and my concerns
Suzanne Baer is the most thoughtful, patient, and empathetic therapist - I was blessed to be matched with her as I began my therapy journey. She listened, never judged, and uplifted me every step of the way. I am beyond grateful for all she has done to better my life and give me the confidence I needed to truly love myself and move beyond my past. Thank you Suzanne!
