Recent reviews
Ching Yi Kuo ("Joy") is an awesome listener, and a great counsellor. She's able to identify parts of my character that I have overlooked and welcomes me to question why I think the way I do. I do not think that anyone is able to break it down in such concise language. I like how she provides me with ideas to make me think and support that I can feel okay :)

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.

She is so amazing!
I'm am extremely happy with Ching Yi Kuo. She is very supportive she always gives actvice with Important key points always interested knowing how your day is. Before she starts a session she always ask before and after each session how you feel, and when ever I get stuck by not knowing what to say she finds a comfortable way of starting the sessions I would highly recommend her. As she is really professional kind, supportive friendly.
She is amazing and helpful and listen to all your concerns and will help you put at ease and guide your through the process that will help you make a break through
It's been only a couple sessions and I already feel more in control of myself, I highly appreciate the self-awareness that she helps me create and the help in detangling emotions. I feel listened to and validated for my concerns: I get access to support, explanations and solutions to them.
I believe it is part of God’s plan to match me with Ching Yi. Not only we speak the same language, but also we are a perfect match spiritually. She is such a good listener and always goes above and beyond to make sure my feelings were validated and my voices were heard. She has provided very personalized therapy that has guided me through the most difficult time in my life. The first session we had calmed me down and gave me a good night sleep after so many sleepless nights. I am always looking forward to our sessions. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is struggling and looking for help mentally and emotionally.
Ching Yi is great at making me feel so seen and heard, and gives very practical, on-point advice. She actively listens to me and guides the conversation to the right track that allows me to understand myself and my current concerns better. Highly recommend Ching Yi for anyone facing similar problems.
She is wonderful and deeply understanding of my feelings and emotions.
Ching Yi Kuo has been a huge help in a very short amount of time. I appreciate her insights and her approach to my needs.
