I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Valerie. From the very first session, she created a safe, welcoming space where I felt truly heard and understood. She is compassionate, insightful, and incredibly skilled at guiding me through challenges with care and wisdom. Valerie has helped me gain new perspectives, develop healthier coping strategies, and feel more confident in my personal growth. I always leave our sessions feeling lighter, supported, and empowered. If you're looking for a therapist who genuinely cares and makes a real difference, I highly recommend Valerie!

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.
Available now.
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.
