About online counseling

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.

Ann is awesome!! She really listens and reminds me of my goals.
Ann is absolutely amazing. I am going through an extremely hard time in my life, where everything seemed flipped upside down. Ann has helped me set goals, feel seen and heard, and has begun to help me move forward positively. Can’t say enough great things about her.
I have only had one session with Ruth, but found her very helpful. I look forward to working with her.
She has been great to work with. Understands what I’m going through, very professional, and offers good advice.
