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 am so glad I found Merian, I’m very confident she is the right therapist for me .
She is the best therapist! It’s my first time to talk to someone professional about my mental health and I’ve never felt any better. I’m happy I found Ms. Merian. She is amazing.
She is a great listener and her energy and aura make you feel like she understands what you are going through. She also pushed me to do more things in my life to grow.
