I am so grateful for Courtney’s guidance & support. She’s really great at reminding me how much I already know and then giving me tools to put that knowledge into practice. Definitely feel aligned and excited to connect more.

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.

Courtney is professional and courteous. She asks thought-provoking questions gently and with enough respect to care about your feelings in any given situation. I have already learned new coping mechanisms and “tools” to help me with my mental illnesses, and that’s only after a few sessions. She will let you speak your piece and always offers for me to talk first if we accidentally speak simultaneously. This shows her dedication and compassionate nature towards the people she helps. Happy to be learning and getting help from Courtney.

Courtney helps cut to the core feelings of an issue and gives great feedback for both written messages and live sessions.

Reviewed April 2023

She was responsive and reliable. I was able to schedule a phone meeting in short time and she helped me with writing prompts to figure out what I truly wanted to do in a challenging and emotional transition with a family member I had been estranged to. She understood the urgency of the situation’s timing and and helped me feel supported and understood. After the situation she also followed up with processing how that situation went and allowed me to respond at my own pace. Had a really positive experience with her :)
