She‘s the best therapist I‘ve ever met. I had quite a lot of bad lucks to find a thoughtful and careful therapist to make me feel safe and she‘s the one I‘ve been looking for a long time. She really listen to you and care about you. That‘s why I‘ve come back to her even after a year of break of therapy. I strongly recommend her!

She is inteligent, and pleasant. Even if she wasn't a therapist, that is the kind of person who one needs to talk to.

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.

I absolutely love my sessions with Moira. Not only is she a very qualified provider, she is also a person who clearly loves and is passionate about what she does. Her work has immensely helped me since beginning therapy. Talking with Moira is super healing and fun, and I greatly look forward to seeing her every week. Sometimes I forget that I’m actually IN therapy because she provides such a comfortable and safe environment in which I am able to speak about my issues. Thanks, Moira!

Moira is incredibly kind and holistic as a therapist. She creates a very warm environment where you can build trust in knowing that you are being heard and seen. Most importantly Moira helps you reveal the unseen and gets you to the root of the issue.

I have worked with Moira for the past 6months and found her support to be invaluable. From the beginning Moria took the time to help me better understand what to expect from undertaking person centered therapy and through this journey has allowed me to go at my own pace. I always felt Moira provided a safe space for me to truly be vulnerable about my struggles and was extremely helpful in helping me 'connect the dot's' across different areas of my life. Moira is also very reliable in keeping to scheduled therapy time slots and responsive with communication outside of our therapy calls at times when I have reached out for further support. My overall experience with Moira has been extremely positive and impactful to my life, I cannot thank her more.
