Sheba is awesome! During a time when I really needed support, she did a great job of holding space for me to process my thoughts and emotions. She is a good listener, very supportive, and most importantly, honest! A day or two before my session, I would already feel better knowing I was going to talk to her about the things that were going on. She made me feel calm and helped me clear my racing mind. I would highly recommend Sheba to anyone who needs guidance or even just a friendly, warm way to brighten your day.

More about Sheba
- 15 years' experience
- Female
- LMFT
I am a licensed marriage and family therapist. What I enjoy most about providing mental health services is assisting people with finding their voices. That usually happens with establishing and communicating clear, healthy boundaries in relationships. I start that process with how you might relate to me--working to develop a therapeutic alliance, building trust, and working collaboratively. I learn as much from you as I might be able to teach you. I don't profess to be an expert on your life because it is your experience. I am privileged to be on your journey to wellness. No matter what may be causing disruption in your life--anxiety, depression, trauma, or the like, I will meet you where you are in your process.

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.
