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.

Alev has been amazing. Helping me to identify what is blocking me and offering new perspectives to move forward with issues that I’ve been coping with rather than addressing. With novel and helpful approaches I’d never have tried or used before Alex has helped me face my challenges and develop as a person. Thank you!
Alev is focussed on my concerns and provides practical help and training as well as being a therepeutic listener.
Alev has been the first psychotherapist I ever worked with, and I consider myself lucky. She created immediately an environment where I felt welcome and free to express myself in the most open way possible. After just a couple of sessions she could already gently guide me in the exploration of parts of me and my history that deserved a certain type of attention. She was also able to give me practical advices to deal with peaks of anxiety I was dealing with. I would recommend Alev to anyone, she'll listen with an open mind and heart and help you find the tools you need to get better.
