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 enjoy working with Cora
She has really helped me put thing into perspective on a lot of aspects in my life in only a short time. She make my concerns feel valid while simultaneously putting certain worries to rest with logic. I’ve never done therapy before but she has made this is experience as great as it can be during a troubling time.
In the few sessions that I have had with Cora, she was able to help me understand why I have certain issues regarding some things. She helped me make a breakthrough and realize some important aspects of my past within my first session. After my first session with her, I felt like a huge weight had been lifted off of my shoulders. She has been very supportive with my needs and I always look forward to my sessions with her.
