Great app!! and I highly recommend you get it if you are or a loved one who is struggling with mental illness. And The fact that it's very affordable definitely doesn't hurt either. So not only will your wallet thank you, but your brain and body will as well. [It got a bit corny at there, but Hopefully you will get the general gist of it lol.

Mari is patient and provides the space for me to open up about my experiences. She offers insights about the ways I've been thinking about past events. I can now look at some of my past choices and feelings with more understanding and consideration.

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.
