She understands it all, and has great guidance techniques.

Reviewed September 2024

She has been so helpful in my journey and I cannot express my gratitude to her. She is helping me understand concepts that are hard for me to grasp about myself as well as reads my journal so I do not feel so overwhelmed with telling her what I have been through in the week.

About online counseling

Affordable.

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.
