About online counseling

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.

Overall rating:
Good
She's a very good therapist.
Very kind, patient friendly therapist
I needed to have someone to talk to who understands and Amanda offers me that.
Although I met with Amanda for only a month, it was well worth each session. She was able to get me to unpack some issues right from the start. I felt, trust, at ease, comfortable, vulnerable and heard. I do plan to return in the future, when my schedule permits.
She is a very good therapist. I have a good rapport with her.
