I have only just started using this application. So far I am very happy with it and my therapist Vanessa Hernandez. She has been very understanding and accommodating to my struggles. As I am only in my infancy of my work I can’t say much right now but look forward to gaining skills to recovery through her guidance and support.

About online counseling

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.
