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’s great!

Reviewed August 2024

Working with Erin has been nothing short of life changing! From our very first session she has made me feel comfortable, heard, and validated while at the same time pointing out things I wasn’t even aware needed attention. She has helped me explore and grow in ways I didn’t know possible, and I’m confident that she would provide the same care for anyone else.

Erin has been a fantastic therapist and has helped me out a lot. I have been feeling much better since talking to her and feel very optimistic about what the future holds. I would highly recommend her to anyone else who is looking to seek therapy

Reviewed December 2023

Erin is absolutely amazing! From the first session I had with her I could tell she was incredible. I had gone through a variety of therapists in the past and couldn’t connect with any of them well. That wasn’t the case with Erin, she made me feel very heard and like I wasn’t going to be judged for what I said. She also remembers things I say in past sessions and makes a note of bringing them up to follow up on my progress. She is so accommodating to my crazy schedule too! Highly recommend meeting with her if you can!
