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.

My therapist is really good I enjoy talking to her
Wanda has by far been the best therapist I have ever had. She has been key in my success, and getting through a very difficult time. I feel like she really listen to me and remembered everything I said about myself she had very effective advice. She was not the kind of therapist like I had in the past who just listened to what I had to say, and didn’t really get to my core issues and help me, I will be forever grateful in how she has helped me. I’ve always thought you can’t change who you are but with Wanda’s help I have seen a real change in who I am and hope for continued change and growth.
I am very pleased to have found Wanda. I feel she is genuinely concerned about me.
Wanda is amazing! She asked me questions and saw things from a different angle. One of the best therapists I’ve ever had.
Wanda is a very thoughtful and committed professional. I'm extremely happy that I have the opportunity to work with her.
