I’m grateful for Stephanie Cook support, guidance, and care throughout our therapy sessions. her empathy, understanding, and genuine concern for my well-being have been invaluable to me during my journey of personal growth and healing. From the very beginning, she created a safe and non-judgmental space where I felt comfortable opening up and exploring my thoughts and emotions. her active listening and insightful perspectives have helped me gain clarity and a deeper understanding of myself. Your gentle nudges and thoughtful questions have challenged me to confront my fears and unhelpful patterns, ultimately leading me towards positive change. Beyond the professional realm, I appreciate her warmth and genuine care for my overall well-being. her encouragement and belief in my ability to overcome obstacles have been a source of strength and motivation. Words cannot fully express how grateful I am for her dedication and commitment to my healing process. she played an instrumental role in helping me become a better version of myself, and for that, I will forever be thankful.

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've really enjoyed working with Stephanie. She's considerate and has made me feel heard throughout the experience. She helped me work through some thinking I've been doing re: family and relationships, and did so patiently and with reassurance. I sometimes struggle with feeling like my venting is just a burden, but she made me feel validated and OK to open up, which I really appreciate.
