Her insights empower me to find my own, she's an amazing listener. Kathleen helps me dive into both where I'm struggling and where I'm succeeding, so I can realistically assess how to change and shift, as well as where I can strengthen, to move forward constructively and confidently in alignment with my goals.

About online counseling

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 was scared and skeptical about starting therapy. The therapist BH matched me with did not work out after the first session. I was then given a list of therapists and after narrowing down the list, I chose Kathleen and I am so glad I did. She is caring, supportive, empathetic, attentive and knowledgeable. She has helped me tremendously. I feel blessed to have found Kathleen and would highly recommend her.
