About online counseling

Affordable.

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.

Phenomenal therapist!

Reviewed May 2023

I have only been seeing Lucinda for a few weeks now, but I have found her to be more beneficial than the years I had been with other therapists! She has excellent listening skills, and she listens between the lines. She has a way of walking me into an idea so that I feel like it was my own realization. She is wonderful and an amazing therapist!
