Susan has been extremely patient and understanding. She does not just sit and nod her head while asking rhetorical questions like therapists I have worked with in the past. She offers relatable advice and has proactively guided me through exercises which no other therapist has done. This truly makes me feel like I’m progressing in a short amount of time. I look forward to my sessions with Susan and would encourage anyone looking for guidance with abuse and trauma to seek out her services.

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.
