I haven’t had many sessions with Andreia so far but what is remarkable already, is that in my first and second session I felt more connected to Andreia than I had ever felt in many years with another therapist. I attribute this to Andreia’s commitment and ability to listen and hear and ask about what it is that I am saying in a way that makes me feel on par with her.

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

- 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.

I love Andreia. She is like my shoulder angel that I take around the world with me. What a great thing to have in this life. Hope you have a beautiful day <3
Andreia helped me a lot with my anxiety. She thought me knew tools to relax when feeling stressed. I use these and they have improved my day to day life. She also worked on my ability to speak my mind and to improve my self esteem. Since the therapy I can better recognise and understand my own emotions . I am glad I was connected to Andreia. She listened very well but just as importantly gave good advise and showed me other perspectives how to reflect on things. Thanks Andreia!
Andreia is the sweetest! She makes me smile, grow, learn, accept myself and work on myself . Offers different kind of advices and techniques to overcome issues in question. Checks in on me. I wouldn’t have changed her for the world. I’d say from each session I get at least one golden nugget!
