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.

Shawn has been at this a long time and his professionalism shows with every conversation.

Reviewed May 2023

I am impressed with the overall program, but so far in my initial stages, Shawn has eased my anxiety about the overall process and has already pointed out a few underlying things that can be a contributing factor in my challenges. His experience and thoughtfulness I know will help me with my future.
