Reviewed November 2024

She is a wonderful therapist who has contacted me on a daily basis, checking in and making sure that my goals are being worked on with me. I struggle with anxiety and depression, and she’s been patient even when I have difficulty controlling how I feel in the moment.

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.

Ruby is the absolute best!! She has made my experience with therapy so great and has helped me tremendously in such a small amount of time!! Can’t wait to see where this journey goes and to continue to overcome obstacles in my life!!

Reviewed June 2022

Ruby is incredibly attentive, open, and understanding. I always receive messages from her each day with reminders &/or motivators at the beginning and end of the day. I feel heard and feel like I'm being offered doable HW that is helping improve in the areas that I want or need to work on. In the short time I've been seeing Ruby so far, I've already seen more progress than attempting to do the work solo or with previous programs and therapists I have been with. She's uplifting, down-to-earth, knowledgeable, and fun!
