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.

Paula listens very well and helps me build skills to approach my trauma effectively. I feel very supported by her guidance and grateful.
Paula has been an invaluable source of knowledge, validation and support. I feel emotionally/mentally stronger and better equipped to handle my anxiety and negative self-talk. Our sessions challenge my thinking in the best way and I have learned so much about myself and the way I interact with the world. I would whole heartedly recommend Paula to anyone needing mental health support.
She is always there listening and helping me find ways to understand my feelings and figure out ways of getting through them. Without feeling guilty and without pressure.
Paula is amazing! Shes great with hearing me and responding. Also with helping me get through and understanding whatever situations I go through! Thank you for all you do Paula!
Everything has been great so far! She really listens and is helping me get my mental health under control!
Fantastic, informative, and very analytical and comforting
I had very productive and helpful sessions with Paula. Thank you verry much for working with me.
If you seek someone capable of accurately reflecting your thoughts, enabling you to gain insight into the inner workings of your mind, or maybe even looking beyond the trauma that has confined you into an invisible box, then Ms. Paula is an ideal choice. She exhibits qualities of kindness and patience and possesses adept communication skills to guide you through necessary conversations.
Very kind, patient and thorough providing useful tools and information to better help understand my own brain and thought patterns in order to identify and work on patterns that keep you stuck. She offers an in depth holistic view of what is occurring inside of the brain in connection with thoughts and emotions. Excellent care.
Paula helped me during a very high anxiety time where I couldn’t focus and control my feels. She helped me realize I need to work through the uncomfortable feelings and wait for them to pass and stay present. The tools she taught me along with the articles, exercises and visual aids are something I use daily.
She is a great listener. And helps me realize why I'm experiencing what I'm going through and gives me tools to help me get through them.
Paula has been a great help on my mental health recovery health. And has shared great insights on how to improve my mental health.
Paula is the best. I feel understood and often return to the coping strategies she has instilled during our time together. She has been able to untangle a different difficult thought process for me each time we meet. I am so thankful for her!
She’s kind, considerate and definitely nonjudgmental
Ms. Arizola is amazing at what she does. You can tell the love she has for her patients. Each session I feel myself becoming more courageous and it’s all thanks to her. She’s a Godsent.
10 minutes into my first session I felt Paula listened, respected me and understood me. Highly recommend Paula.
Paula is a wonderful therapist. She is great at listening and providing coping skills. Very experienced and able to set up action plans as well as studying assignments/improvement plans.
I really like her. She gives me good advice and she listens but she also has a firm hand guiding me into the proper direction I should be going for my own self healing.
