Michelle has taken an active role in helping to identify my struggles and thoroughly pinpoint what my rooted issues are. From there she has given me different ways to approach triggering interactions as well as how I can start to overcome the anxiety that ensues from them. Most importantly she listens, to everything, and reassures the feelings or emotions I have are real and validated.

About online counseling

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.
