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.

Brenda is great! She is attentive, empathetic, and a great lister. She pushes back when you need a reality check but also is kind when you need kind words. Great therapist overall!

Brenda is a great listener, she always remembers key details & has always encouraged me to make my own decisions. I would highly recommend her services, very easy to talk to :)

Reviewed June 2023

It took me going through a few therapist to find the right one and I’m so glad I made the change. She never makes me feel like she’s just along for the ride even when i feel like I’m just venting and she adapts to what’s happening like last weeks problems may not be this weeks issue and It makes a world of difference. It never feels like it’s her way or the highway and it makes it easier for a person like me to tell she’s actually listening because of how often i can get off one thing and on to another. 10/10

Great therapy, you can do from the comfort of your home. They offer three ways to communicate for your session. During the time your not in session, they offer text chat, groups, and worksheets. These are all are just some of what they offer. It’s a whole new level of support.
