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.

I like therapists that make me think in different ways and she definitely does that.
Maria is the best. Very understanding and helps me to deal with a difficult relationship. I really look forward to talking to her as she makes me feel so much better!
She is fantastic! So kind and welcoming and address things you are wanting to change or talk about from another professional perspective.
Maria does a fantastic job listening and addressing things that are truly important to you. Her discovery questions and challenges to better myself have made a drastic impact on my day-to-day well-being. Maria is invested and exhibits care and expertise in every interaction I have with her.
Maria was absolutely amazing. She had a great way of explaining things in a way that I could fully understand. She is great at what she does and often put my thoughts into words I couldn’t form. I would very much recommend her to anyone seeking help.
Great therapist very helpful
