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.

Salena is a great listener pauses and allows you to speak your truth. She is always attentive to body language as well. I highly recommend her as a therapist to anyone who just wants someone to listen when you're going through hardships. She is one of the best counselors I've had.

Very good listener and wise

Reviewed February 2024

Selena is very kind and gentle. I actually didn't really like at first how it felt I was the one controlling the convo a bit but I realized I really needed that. I needed to feel heard, like I didn't need to fight for someone's attention. The conversations with her flow so smoothly idk I like her

Salena has truly helped me see myself in a different light while addressing issues I actively face. She really listens and responds with her expertise, and her care is genuine and true. She is my first experience with counseling and she made me feel heard and comfortable. I would recommend her to anyone looking to explore counseling and address their personal growth and any roadblocks they may be facing.
