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.

She is excellent. Really listens and has great advice.
Kimara is a wonderful therapist! She has helped me enormously with depression and anxiety, and helped me prepare for a big life change. I would highly recommend Kimara!
I am really enjoying my sessions with Kimara. She is the perfect mix of thoughtful listener and coach, knowing how to help me see how far I’ve already come. At the same time, she helps me understand the work I need to do and how we’re going to get it done. Highly recommend her, five stars all around!
I felt comfortable with Kimara right away and that’s very unusual for me!!
Kimara is thoughtful, knowledgeable and approachable. She gives practical advice, makes you feel heard and meets you where you are. This is the best therapist experience I have ever had.
I have only had one session so far with Kimara. Yet that one session has gave me a little more peace with my jumbled thoughts that I have had over the past few years. Definitely looking forward to more sessions and more confidence building.
