About online counseling

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.

She is a kind and understanding therapist.
She makes me feel comfortable and has great professional expertise
Excellent first session!
A very wise and knowledgeable person to talk to and a great listener.
Miss Montes was incredible during my sessions. She listens. I have a toddler that would sometimes require attention during my session and she was patient and even interacted with her which my child loved. I will take the tools and advice that Miss Monte’s has given and use them daily.
What I like about Nancy is that I don't have to explain to her the nature of my job, she's already been there, done that. Most people (including therapists) cannot fathom how hard my job is, the politics, the danger, etc... I don't have time to explain that, I need to dig into my issues, Nancy gets that. Thank you!
I am happy to have a Latina counselor who understands my culture and empowers me as a client.
Love Nancy. She's very friendly, open, and helpful.
