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.

Highly recommend if you really want to dig deep and heal. I look forward to all our sessions. Very professional and knowledgeable.
Heather is kind, compassionate and patient to me no matter what I bring to her. I trust her and her expertise when it comes to many issues and she takes the time to make sure I feel comfortable and safe doing so. I had a bad experience with a few other therapists but she’s definitely one I would highly recommend!
