Ive is compassionate, understanding, experienced, knowledgeable, and also challenges my assumptions and gets me thinking about my situation. This last point is very important to me, and I appreciate it a lot, but she goes further than that: she also knows when to help me find rest and RELEASE from challenges, go easy on myself, and allow healing to happen without so much of a fight. I’m very lucky to have been matched with her.

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.
