Teresa is a wonderful person and has a great basis in Christian background. I appreciate her ability to listen and talk without judging and waiting to understand before talking. She has a lot of great resources and would be strongly recommended to those with kids, looking for Christian beliefs, or previously divorced. I look forward to our conversations each week!

It's only been a few weeks, but it feels like we've known eachother for a long time. She has been great with guiding me through my life's exploratory process. I never knew how great the worksheets are, she's been amazing at matching them with me. I'm really enjoying this help.

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.

- 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.
