About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.

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.

Best therapist and very helpful
Truly could not ask for a better therapist than Shayla. She is so genuine and has helped completely transform my life, mindset, relationships, and confidence in a matter of a few short months.
She is amazing!
Shayla brings real-life experience and truly graceful empathy to our sessions. Thank you
Very sweet, great therapist
Shayla is one of the realest people I’ve ever come across! She is the epitome of a genuine human, and I can’t see myself having another therapist. The amount of care she puts in to your needs is over the top and don’t be surprised if she remembers a detail that you don’t!
Best therapist ever
All I have to say is Shayla has been very helpful and has helped and continues to help me through some difficult situations in my life. I had took a break and when I came back I made it my mission to have Shayla as my therapist again. We have build a bond and having her as my therapist is great and I feel more confident in my personal life and I just want to “Thank You” Shayla. When I need help or guidance she’s there to support me.
Amazing!
Shayla is great, feel like I’m talking to a good friend! Very easy to feel relaxed and say what I need to say!!
She’s been very helpful and encouraging.
Such a positive person to talk to, helps you to see what's in front of you and what you need to work on!
Shayla is AMAZING! She’s funny and very sweet! She has a ton of experience and asks the right questions in order to dig deep into the details of not only the issue at hand but internal understanding! I would recommend Shayla 10 out of 10!!!
After about 3 minutes into my first session with Shayla I knew I was matched with a good therapist. When talking to her I feel like I’m talking to a friend. She is so warm and inviting. I look forward to my sessions and I am feeling better already after 3 sessions but I am going to continue with her for as long as I can
Shayla has helped me in a short time to vent and work through my anxiety. She is sweet and listens to your problems. I definitely recommend her to anyone needing to work through a problem.
Shayla is a great therapist. She is compassionate, understanding, thought provoking and her faith truly shows through her counseling. If you are looking for a faith based therapist Shayla is the one to go with.
Absolutly incredible! So nice to be able to talk to someone who is real with listening and giving direction. 10 stars if I could.
Shayla is a listening ear when I needed it the most. She made me feel comfortable enough to open up to her and gave the best tools to enable me sort out my anxiety. Thank you Shayla.
