Reviewed November 2023

So happy and relieved to have finally found a therapist who listens to understand and not just responds by the book. Anila has been instrumental in my mental health and having a calming, sensible, and wise voice in my otherwise chaotic brain. I feel I've come a long way in just our few sessions together and truly appreciate her going the extra mile and checking in on me between sessions.

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.
