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.

I haven't gotten very far yet in my own personal journey, but it is so nice to have a fresh set of eyes to be able to help me see behaviors I've been doing for a long time. When I have concerns, they are met with clarifying questions and I LOVE that! When I'm struggling to pinpoint an answer, we stop and slow down, and recenter focus and calmness, and that's something I haven't had a lot of practice in. It's nice to feel listened to, but also gently directed towards better ways of doing things, which is exactly what I wanted!
