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.

Geri is the best therapist I’ve ever had. She has helped me through the most difficult time in my life. She not only listens and follows up, with a strong attention to detail on each therapy session, but I appreciate all of her knowledge and expertise in addition to her empathy. Her wealth of knowledge and resources helps me gain understanding and helps with processing certain topics, emotions, challenges etc. I look forward to every session and can’t thank her enough for helping me as I grow and work on myself.
