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.

Amanda is incredibly kind, thoughtful, and understanding of my situations of what is both happening in the present as well as things that’s happened years ago! I am beyond happy that I feel confident and secure when I speak with her. Before, I was not super big on therapy because I thought therapy didn’t work, but now I see how incredibly important it is to talk about my struggles!

It's nice to have someone so personable to talk with. Also the followup weekly messages are great and serve as a reminder of my personal wellness goals. Thanks!

I love my therapist! She has a very calm and nurturing voice and personality. I feel safe when ever we have our sessions like a judgement free zone. I feel she gets me and really listens. She checks in often and she does a great job as well in keeping in touch and writing little tips and cooping techniques on how to handle stress. I also really love the fact that she always provides a brief quote of inspiration. I’d recommend her!

Amanda is amazing. Regardless of what is bothering you, she has insight beyond my past therapists and really knows how to engage and help you to get on a better path. I don’t think I’ll ever need to switch therapists again.
