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.

So happy to have her

Reviewed April 2022

I've been going to Nicole since I was 17 I'm now 20. She's a great therapist and she listens very well. Sometimes in our sessions we talk about things that don't even involve my issues and just talk about life and that's fine its nice to just have a conversation. I know she will be there when I need her.

Nicole has been a tremendous help to me. First, she is a great listener. Next, she is a compassionate listener. Finally, she is able to give me exercises or skills to help move forward and gain the peace and clarity I crave.

Reviewed January 2021

Nicole has been a solid support during a very rough patch in my life. She completely understands my situation, and is very insightful. Just her validating my feelings and listening to me has been a lifesaver. I need this kind of support right now. She has great ideas on how to handle things, and isn't afraid to ask you to consider other perspectives. Some of her suggestions really opened my eyes to negative patterns that I didn't even realize on my own. Thank you so much Nicole!

Reviewed June 2020

Nicole has been wonderful to talk to. She’s offered me a variety of tips and concrete ideas that’ll help me out both with relationships, and professionally. She’s also taken the initiative to send me a few resources that I’ve saved and plan on referring back to from time to time.
