She’s a really good therapist although I’ve only had the luxury of meeting with her once, she seems like she really knows what she’s doing and is very kind and patient. Funny too.

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.

She’s such a gem. Idk if I’d be alive right now without her. Heather, you are incredible and do incredible work. Thank you for blessing my life with your existence.

Heather has been a great support system for me!
Amazing!
Heather is wonderful, I’m so thankful for her.
Heather has been a life saver. In just two sessions, she identified red flags in my relationship that I had become numb to (and, therefore, unaware), and gave me guidance on how to remove myself from the situation quickly and safely.
