A passionate and committed therapist. Patricia was my first therapist in nine years and we’ve been able to uncover more in the past 4 weeks than I ever imagined. Glad she is able to check in on me, give me great tools and advice, and push me to see past events in a new and more productive way.

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.
