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.

Cherisse has been amazing. I came to therapy not really 100% sure exactly what I needed or wanted and Cherisse has been so understanding and patient helping me through what is quite an emotional and difficult time in my life.
Cherisse has been a very supportive therapist through a deeply challenging part of my life. She has helped frame and address particularly difficult issues in a way that has helped me feel more confident in my life. We have always had a fairly fluid manner of conversation and I have always felt listened too and that I had very adequate space to speak as well as to realize and express my (sometimes buried) feelings.
Kind, patient and adaptable, Cherisse is a lovely therapist to work with
Charisse has been very supportive and offered many different sources of additional support. She’s a good listener and validates my feelings in a way that I, a man, don’t often get from anyone in my life.
Cherisse Amusa is wonderful, she listens to every problem and truely tries to understand my worries, I have always wanted someone to listen to me and she is that person, she sends me homework related to my worries and this has helped me extremely over the past 3 weeks, I have seen changes in me that I have struggled to change myself in 7 years, thank you for listening to me and allowing me to be patient with myself
Cherisse , had allowed me to speak on what I am feeling and in the process of getting steps to help me. Which I appreciate.
Cherisse truly helped me in a time I was feeling anxious and overwhelmed. We had weekly calls where she allowed me to get a lot off my chest and I felt safe to cry and feel my emotions. She is patient, understanding and thoughtful.
Great therapist with a broad range.
Extremely attentive and considerate. Gives a space for all my feelings. Never makes me feel like they are wrong.
Cherisse is very kind and understanding. I absolutely love our Sessions. I feel listened and understood. She is able to describe and put into words what I am feeling better than I can! I can absolutely rely on her. She is always replying very fast when I message her and checking on me when I don’t.
I have loved speaking to Cherisse she makes me feel listened to, she challenges me at appropriate times. My therapy session always feels like a safe space. I look forward to our future sessions and I have confidence she is going to help me to reach my true potential.
Amazing at ensuring you know she is there to speak to , when you feel ready.
