Raquel has a way of making me feel safe to talk about things that I don't talk about with even those closest to me. She listens intently and asks the questions I don't think to ask myself. I feel very confident that I am in really good hands. If you've experienced childhood trauma, grief of losing someone you love or even betrayal of your partner, or anything in between, she will see you. It feels good to finally be seen. Thank you, Raquel!

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.
