Chelsea is an excellent therapist. I had a lot of concern coming in to this, she was the first therapist I've ever had. Either I got really lucky or Betterhelp has the best therapists. She often tells me something that stops me in my tracks and makes me think. Sometimes we laugh, sometimes it's emotional, but it always helpful.

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.

She is raw and honest and even if I don’t want to hear it she tell me
Chelsea is great to work with. She is very knowledgeable and knows just how to challenge and encourage
I haven't been working with her long, but she gives really good insight and responses.
Chelsea has allowed me to express my feelings , yell, vent and even tho there is so much to talk about in one session, she is able to give me advice and make me think and be better for the following week. Chelsea never interrupts and in one sentence she can give me that aha moment
Chelsea has helped me to dig into and reflect on parts of my identity and self that I otherwise would not have. Although it is not always comfortable in the moment, I feel safe exploring these ideas with her and I know I am better for having done it.
