Michael is an exceptional listener, creating a comfortable and supportive environment where I felt truly heard. The therapy sessions were incredibly helpful, and when it came time for advice, it was always insightful, well-thought-out, and exactly what I needed. I'm grateful for the care and wisdom I received. Thank you so much!

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.
