I have tried many therapists over the years and none has ever come even close to the quality of care and compassion from Dr. Holbrook. She is professional, kind, flexible and REALLY hears what I am saying. She is so responsive and can tell when I’m struggling and in a bad place. She makes herself as available as possible when I need her rather than when she finds it convenient. Best. Therapist. Ever. Thank you Dr. Holbrook.

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.

- 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.

Dr. Nyegaard-Holbrook was great. She is very attentive, supportive, punctual, insightful and has a very comfortable and friendly style. It sort of feels like talking to a very insightful friend during her sessions.
Dr. Holbrook is knowledgeable, understanding and helpful. I like how she encourages me to be my own personal without relying on therapy to solve all my problems.
Dr. H is the absolute best she is helping me get through my dads death and I appreciate her so much! I had to go through a few therapist’s to get her and I love her!
She's a great listener and really wants to help. I am really happy to have her as my therapist right now.
Dr. Nyegaard-Holbrook has a great deal of experience in the several areas I need help with. She is kind, a very good listener, good at analyzing situations, insightful, and helpful.
Dr. Holbrook is great! I am fairly new to therapy, I have tried it a few times with “well respected” therapists but had never found much benefit. But after only a few sessions with Dr. Holbrook I can say that I have already gathered some very useful tools and she has opened my mind to new and positive ways of thinking about my situation. She is insightful, a great listener and has good information and perspectives to share. I really appreciate that a phone conversation (which is my preference) is so supportive, beneficial and accommodates my busy schedule. I highly recommend her.
