Jena is a very good therapist and I would like to continue services with her but I will not be able to if payment options aren’t more flexible. I don’t like how the app immediately deactivated after my 3 sessions through EAP. I couldn’t communicate with anyone. Hope to figure something out.

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.

I have only had one session with Jena, but based on that session, I feel she is a very capable and intuitive therapist.
Jena is understanding and so supportive. I feel like I’m just two sessions with her I’ve learned so much.
