I had to switch to a different therapist to fit my personal struggles needs. She has absolutely made me feel seen and heard and given me hope that things will become better. She is encouraging and kind. She is transparent with my care plan and she's always making sure things are not misunderstood or miscommunication. I have peace now moving forward that with her help... I'll be OK

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.

Barb is very compassionate and understanding. She is so easy to talk to! She has helped me to work out issues that are buried that need to be brought to light and dealt with. I am delighted with her!
I felt comfortable and safe with Barb from day one. That is an extremely unusual experience for me. I generally have good intuitions about people and it's been right on with Barbara. She is who I need for this next chapter in my life and so grateful.
