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.

Mi Jung has been instrumental in helping me identify the root causes of my anxiety by exploring my childhood and family background. She is consistently punctual for our sessions and takes the time to genuinely get to know me, which has been incredibly helpful in addressing my challenges. Her understanding, support, and dedication to my well-being have made a significant difference in my journey toward healing. I highly recommend her as a therapist.

Mi Jung actively listens and cares for her patients, and it’s apparent through her ability to remember smaller details that you may not think are important. One of her strengths is that she can help you discover tendencies you may not have noticed about yourself (like, why you do what you do).

I really appreciate Mi Jung’s warmth and compassion. She helped me get thru a very very tough time in my life, and having her to confide in and talk to definitely helped me get more grounded. Her suggestions and advice had always been very helpful for me in times of need. I recommend her with all my heart.

Mi Jung is amazing! She came at the most difficult time in my life, a time when I was particularly erratic and scatterbrained. Looking back I feel empathy for anyone who had to communicate with me at that time. However, Mi Jung was able to look past and work to find the core issues troubling me. She was one of the few sources of peace during that period. She showed extreme compassion yet remained profession. I would recommend Mi Jung to anyone seeking support!

Mi Jung is a great therapist who I will recommend. She became an important person in my recovery process. Mi Jung asks the right questions and can depict triggers, traumas, and habits that affect oneself. Mi Jung helped me navigate depression and asked the right questions about my upbringing. She helped me uncover trauma from my teenage years which I didn't realize was affecting me in my adulthood. Overall grateful for the moments of revelation I experienced, even regarding my romantic relationship.

Mi Jung is very energetic and personable. She really tries to help you understand your problems and brings a different perspective to the table.

Mi Jung is amazing. She is very skilled and I am also (was also) a therapist so I am very sensitive to providers because mostly we have been trained the same way and I usually feel the typical tricks don't work with me. She doesn't use any tricks! She's just an authentic person bringing her presence and experience in whichever way is useful.

I've done 3 sessions with her so far. I needed a therapist who can guide me through self exploring journey to end depression. And I am getting the help I needed and wanted.

She is definitely not one of them !
