Working with Kenita has been nothing but a huge delight. When I started I was very scared to open up, but Kenita made me feel comfortable and provided me with a safe space to discuss everything I was feeling. I’ve had her as a therapist for 4-5 months now, and I amazed at the progress I made during that short period of time. Therapy with Kenita has made me overall happier and more hopeful. I came into this experience as a depressed, anxious emotional wreck. I know I am not at the end of my journey, but I know I’ll be even stronger by then. This is probably the best decision I’ve ever made. Thank you Kenita, you are truly amazing.

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.
