I’ve just started seeing Renee and she has been a wonderful, supportive, understanding therapist. I leave our sessions feeling more enlightened about the connection between my current situations and past traumas, and how to work through them. Thanks Renee!

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.
