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.

Reviewed November 2023

Monica and I have been meeting over the past month. She is a good listener and gives good feedback on the issues that I am dealing with. She is able to stay objective with her advice and listens to what my goals are currently without overdirecting the conversation. I appreciate that she is flexible with her methods of communication as well as providing check ins between meetings. I feel a genuine sense of empathy through the few conversations that we have had. I look forward to working on more of my goals with her guidance.
