A therapist who really cares! Sharon is a kind and attentive listener who makes you feel at ease! She creates a safe space where you are comfortable being open and honest- where no problem or worry is too big to face! Her friendly nature and contagious laugh will have you leaving the call feeling positive and optimistic! I would highly recommend Sharon for her understanding, communication and expertise.

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.
