Julie has really helped me gain clarity during tough times. She is a great listener & understands my lifestyle as a professional musician. I feel very comfortable with her & it feels like we are hanging out!

Reviewed December 2024

Julie is a great listening with years of experience to draw upon with her recommendations, she hears what is being said much deeper than what is being said and so is able to bring to your attention some things you may have missed when considering your predicament. I look forward to sessions with Julie and am grateful she is on the platform.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
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.
