Wai is a great therapist. I have had a few therapy experiences before and I always felt I wasn’t able to get to the bottom of the problem, and felt misunderstood. Currently however, I am making progress and feeling better than ever. I understand my emotions and feel listened to

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.
