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.

Susan is excellent to work with! It can be so difficult finding the right fit when looking for a new therapist, for me anyway. It's such a good investment though because when you do find the right one, things can change for the better so quickly - I've found the right fit in Susan, highest recommendations!

I would recommend Susan, especially if you are struggling with lgbtq issues and self esteem. She has a very calming personality and is eager to help. When you talk to her you feel like you’re talking to a friend. She also does research to your specific needs and environment. Tremendous help, I would highly recommend.

Susan is committed to providing quality therapy. She has wisdom and knowledge, she listens intently, and is perceptive.

Susan has been very helpful for me to go over things from my past and my current situations. She’s always supportive and kind and listens. It’s my first time trying therapy and if I’m reluctant or don’t know how to answer something she gives me different phrases and time to answer. She also gives wonderful resources and recommendations outside of us speaking with eachother. I got lucky being paired with her my first go!
