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.

Shari Baldwin has been my therapist for about a year now and she has been amazing from the first day! She is kind and gentle but also pushes me in the best way. She is as invested in my well being as I am and I will always be grateful for her!
Shari is wonderful, funny, and easy to talk to. She helped me get through a messy part of my relationship and job searching, and I’m really glad I got matched with her.
