I was nervous as this was my first time in therapy ever at the age of 31. Working with Emily has been an amazing experience. She's knowledgeable and patient and allows me to explore and learn from myself, my past behavior, and discuss what I want for the future

About online counseling

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.
