In 2024, good therapists operating remotely are not too difficult to come by, but like Goldilocks, it took me awhile to find the one who is “just right”. Of all people, my grandmother led me to BetterHelp. I had a couple of therapists I had worked with prior to Heather for shorter periods of time through BH, and I am sure they are great for other clients, but I sought more from my practitioner. While in the sea of choices, Heather’s friendly smiling face, educational background, and overall “vibe” on her profile convinced me to book a session with her. Without going into too much detail, I can tell you that my life is absolutely in a different place because of this incredible human. She is professional, warm, relatable, her memory is impeccable, and is flexible with scheduling if there is a conflict. Heather makes me feel safe, seen, heard, and supported. We’ve been working together for about six months and I still look forward to therapy sessions each week. My friends, family, and colleagues have noticed a difference in my well-being—but most importantly, I am finally coming to understand who I am. If you are looking for a phenomenal therapist—especially if you identify as LGBTQIA+—you’ve found her right here.

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.
