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.

As soon as I met Danae they were understanding and supportive. They understood exactly what I was going through and have been helping me deal it. I could not recommend them enough! They are a 10/10 in literally every way. Danae is someone you can talk to openly and honestly about anything without any judgment.

I am so incredibly thankful for finding Danae. She is hands down the best therapist I've ever worked with.

Danae is one of the best therapists I have ever talked to. I feel like I'm talking to a friend vs a therapist which makes me feel comfortable. Thank you Danae for everything!

Reviewed April 2024

Danae is a great therapist and offers great support. She has a way of explaining things in simple to understand ways that I’ve never heard before that just makes so much sense to me. I feel like we click very well and she isn’t afraid to say what I need to hear even if it’s not necessarily what I wanna hear. I love how vulnerable she can be about her own experiences which really helps allow me to open up even more making it easier to work on the hard stuff.

Danae is an amazing and insightful therapist! I feel so accepted - especially as a witch and as someone with diverse religious + spiritual practices. Danae offers effective, comforting, and creative therapeutic techniques that have greatly helped me with perspective shifts during really difficult ruts. I 10/10 recommend Danae!

Danae is one of the best therapists I have met. They understand and address hidden concerns and seems to know exactly what to say at all times. They might be a psychic, but honestly, it’s what I need in life. I appreciate all of the validation Danae gives me and they make me feel understood like no one else. 100/10

Reviewed August 2023

I’ve found the experience of finding the right therapist for me to be extremely difficult. But when I met Danae, I felt comfortable quickly. That is not a small accomplishment in my book since I have had walls up to therapy for a long time. They make me feel like I’m not being pushed to fit a worksheet, that my progress is going to be at my pace. Plus, it often feels more like I’m talking to a friend than a therapist, which I wasnt expecting. They’ve truly made the ideal setup for me.

Reviewed August 2023

They showcase their expertise and their empathy in a great manner in therapy, which leads to productive sessions in which you will not only feel validated and understood with the support that they give, but you will gain the power to understand and help yourself with their guidance. Would totally recommend to anyone. 10 out of 10.

Danae is very engaged and a wonderful individual to work with. If you shut down she will never judge you, instead help you through the moment. She is truly the definition of a safe space

Reviewed May 2023

I have been in therapy for a long time now, with many different therapists... finding 'the right one' is surprisingly hard to do. I cannot say enough how amazing it is to have finally met Danae. Our first session we just got to know each other and it was a very casual comfortable conversation. Our second session, I'd be lying if I didn't say they hit the nail on the head in the first 5 minutes and hone in directly on my major prevailing issue. It's an amazing feeling to finally meet a professional who 'gets' me, as a neurodivergent, who is already very stuck in my own head. Danae gave me permission to do things a little differently and that's exactly the breath of fresh air I need.

Reviewed April 2023

Danae is a pleasant and down to earth lady. I felt comfortable confiding in her. She comes up with different ways to address a problem(s). Highly recommended. I was proud to be getting along with a younger person as my work experience last summer tested my nerves, unfortunately. Thank you Danae.

I couldn't ask for a better therapist. Regarding ADHD, she gets it. She will listen to what you have tried and recommends according to that.

They are very kind and nice. I feel cared for and understood. I’ve never had a therapist explain things so well to me and also provide tools and strategies so hands-on and spot-on. Highly recommend them if you are seeking support to manage your ADHD.

Very caring and knowledgeable therapist.

Reviewed April 2023

Danae is unconventional yet extremely effective. She is not afraid to break out of the "statement, response, statement, response..." pattern that most therapists that I have encountered use. She takes her time and really gets to know you as a person, making different issues come up naturally as you're ready to talk about them.

Reviewed April 2023

Sometimes it's desperate to reach out the goal, somehow you know that there's somebody who is supporting and encouraging yourself, it feels so well. Thank you Danae!

Reviewed February 2023

Danae is sharp as a tack. They see the heart of the matter several steps before I do, guide me to the issue, and help me build a solution. All of this while gently guiding me through the process in a way that bolsters retention and reinforces critical "foundation" points. Context is always clear and perspective is maintained. If I ever feel lost in a session with Danae, the feeling is short-lived because they see it and know exactly where to offer clarity. I come away from every session with a crystal clear goal and a process that works. By the time my next session comes around I have measurable results to speak of and build upon. With Danae there is no spinning your wheels.
