About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online 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.

Overall

Super nice, and encouraging. Gives great advice and always just a message away if I'm having a really bad day or week! Progress is slow but seems so easy to just talk to her for the whole hour which is big because I'm never comfortable talking to people thanks to social anxiety. Definitely recommend!

Dawn is a kind and patient listener, she never makes me feel judged or rushed. She helped me find the direction I was looking for and ferret out my core issues. Her questions helped me find insight into the heart of my confusion and anxiety. I would recommend 10/10 to anyone struggling to make a major life decision.

Dawn is the kindest, most understanding therapist I've ever had. She is always on time, always present. She coveys an understanding of me and my needs, even when I can't even process them myself.

Jun 07, 2023

Overall

I was very nervous to start therapy and had reservations on therapists. I was matched with Dawn and felt it may be a good fit, but nonetheless was still nervous. Just a few minutes into my first session, I knew she was the perfect match! Dawn is absolutely amazing and had no reservations when jumping into my rather stressful relationship situation at the time. She has guided me through very though conversations and made me feel like I have a strong support holding me up and allowing my voice to come through. I cannot say enough fabulous things about her! She carefully hears me out and helps me navigate, even shedding lights and helping me realize things I had never considered. I am genuinely grateful to have been working with her for the past few months and look forward to her continued help and guidance!
