About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.

- 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.

Laura is an active listener, which is great. Really good at resuming topics from one session to the next. She does a really good job of allowing me to reframe my negative thoughts into something more positive.
I get the feeling that Laura genuinely cares for my well-being and has a passion for what she does. Her advice is practical, realistic, and tailored to my needs. She challenges me just the right amount, but still holds a comfortable space for me to be honest. I’m very grateful to have her as my therapist.
She is an excellent therapist. She is a great listener, she’s kind, and easy to open up to.
She makes me feel comfortable, safe, and provides amazing feedback and guidance. I can see my progression with her and I would love to continue seeing her!
