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.

I could not have found a therapist more aligned with my needs. Lauren is professional but casual and easy to talk to. She is always ready with helpful tools and considerate of my needs in a 100% judgement free way. She also helps to keep me focused on my goals which is a struggle for me. She is compassionate and her guidance is perfectly attuned to my needs. I have had massive shifts already after only a few weeks. I would absolutely recommend her!

My therapist is extremely helpful. She listens to me and understands where I’m coming from and my background. She knows how to speak to me and has so much of experience with people who have traumas! She also knows what subject to touch and which one she shouldn’t. She has huge amounts of understanding of someone and helps me to see the positive. I choose better help and I feel I made the right choice! Would I ever recommend better help to someone in need of help in a more professional way?
