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 far in our initial sessions Rosa has done exactly what I have needed her to do and that is simply listen to the various issues I am trying to work through. In addition, she has provided me with very particular and specific ideas designed to help me communicate with people that I need to in order to clear the channels of frustration I am dealing with. So far, this experience has been exactly what I needed!

Rosa is a compassionate, honest, and insightful soul. She has provided me with a virtual face-to-face counselling experience that far exceeds my expectations and prior experiences with in-person therapy. She shares her own story, builds genuine rapport, and really gets to know you like a friend and trusted confidante. I cannot sing her praises enough in our short time working together!

Reviewed September 2021

The best counselor I had not only for her expertise and compassion, but also because she has an intersectional cultural understanding of my complex background. That’s rare for therapist to have so she’s definitely a gem!
