Amanda embodies what you want in a therapist - someone who listens actively and empathetically, asks appropriate questions that require thoughtful responses, demonstrates an interest in moving forward with solving problems and doesn't tolerate dishonest or self-defeating excuses. I enjoy our sessions very much and feel like progress is already being made. Highly recommended.

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.
