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.

Kind, thoughtful, and caring! Ausha is a wonderful therapist
Ausha is warm and receptive and offers a safe space to discuss concerns. She has provided me with several helpful techniques and resources that are helping me to achieve my therapy goals. I would highly recommend her!
Ausha is great and very attentive. Offers great perspective.
After my old therapist moved, I wasn’t sure I would find someone who could take her place and after going through a couple of other therapists, I came across Ausha and am so glad I did! I’m in the part of my journey where I know better and now need to do better and Ausha provides me with the motivation, guidance, tools and encouragement to support that part of my journey. She is incredibly empathetic and wise, and I always leave sessions feeling better. I would genuinely recommend her to individuals regardless of where they are in their therapy journey.
Ausha is very attentive to my conversations and responds with encouraging actions for me to take or inspirational messages . I highly recommend Ausha professional therapy skills to others.
Ausha has been great! She is an excellent listener and she seems to understand my experience knowing what I should focus on to navigate it
Ausha is attentive and understanding, she listens and offers solutions. She asks the questions I’m afraid to ask. She is amazing!
She’s great !
I just started therapy with Ausha but so far I can tell that she has much experience and a method to working with her clients. She is extremely professional and attentive. Always checks-in with me.
Ausha makes you feel comfortable without barriers. I felt seen in all of my conversations with her so far. She is very proficient in helping me organize my thoughts when I feel like I am rambling so that we can revisit them later in the session.
I really appreciate Ausha and her insight. I’ve always been the one people come to for advice, it feels good to be able to go to someone else for a change.
Thank you Ausha for being a great listener.
