Melanie is an excellent therapist who gave me all the tools and insight I needed to reach my goals. She is compassionate and knowledgeable, and extremely insightful. She helped me to see things in a manner that made it easy to understand where I was and how I needed to deal with my situation. Above all, she was always Christian in her approach towards me and in her methods of teaching me to see things from someone else’s point of view. She was everything I could have hoped for and asked for in a therapist. In short, she was the answer to me prayers! I would highly recommend her.

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.
