Ann is understanding and compassionate but extremely knowledgeable and helpful with all I have expressed and asked for guidance about. She is able to help me sort through my things in a way that I’m able to see for myself. This is imperative for recognizing and changing my own thoughts and behaviors as well as understanding and handling all my close people. Highly recommend Ann.

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.
