I was so Nervous Before starting therapy but Maria made me feel so comfortable. It didn't feel awkward at all and she really helped with the issue I was struggling with and gave me useful tools to help me cope

Reviewed February 2023

Maria has been a massive help to me and I’m very glad I was able to work with her. We were able to work on the difficult parts in a helpful and constructive way. She listened to me and allowed me to come to terms with things in my own way without being dictating or prescriptive. I would highly recommend Maria

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.
