Charlene is a great listener and offers thoughtful and actionable feedback. She really helped me through my grief following my mother's death.

Reviewed September 2024

I cannot recommend Charlene enough. I appreciate her candid honesty and willingness to dig beyond the surface-level pain to get to the heart of the matter. The time is always spent with respect and trust. Her wealth of knowledge makes every second of the session valuable for inspecting inward and answering the questions you need to be asking yourself.

About online counseling

Affordable.

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.
