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.

Waynettia has been amazing, a true Godsend when I needed it most. She helped me through what was one of the most difficult times in my life. Having her perspective on things and her advice on processing my thoughts made all the difference in getting through some really tough times and situations. I feel like i not only found a great therapist in her but also a friend. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for help and support. I can't even begin to thank her enough.

Just a wonderful counselor. Great listener and great advice. Highly recommend
I've only had two sessions so far and my life has already changed. I could not have asked for a better therapist. Waynettia is patient and listens actively while knowing the perfect moments to step in and make a comment or ask a question. I was nervous initially but quickly realized this was the best decision I could've made and it mainly had to do with our experience together. She's making the process less intimidating, comfortable, and I'm actually excited about growing and becoming a better me. Thanks so much! You are truly apprecaited.
