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 like Fern.
Still early but have been really impressed. Fern is very empathetic and caring. After three sessions I’ve never felt an authentic connection to a therapist this quickly before. Highly recommend.

She is great
I feel so blessed to have met Fern. People always say finding a good therapist is like dating and I got so lucky to have felt to comfortable with her right off the bat. I look forward to our weekly sessions and feel lighter after every conversation. 10/10 recommend.

Fern is incredible ! She is a talented listener, open to all parts of your personality, and knows when to check you !
It's been a great experience
Fern really surprised me with her ability to recognize and empathize with my issues. I feel like I'm making more progress with her than I did with other therapists.
Fern is an extremely talented therapist. She is an equal listener and leader, guiding the discussion and always giving me something new to consider. She also has a great sense of humor and a great sense of warmth.
Fern is a great listener and she doesn’t add any commentary that isn’t relevant!
Fern is an engaged, caring, empathetic, and insightful presence. She really holds powerful space and allows me to release and speak about what I would otherwise keep hidden. She has been fully present in processing difficult experiences right from the start. How quickly and deeply I was able to communicate and connect is a testament to her compassion and expertise.
