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.

Sharon is absolutely wonderful! She is such a kind woman who is so considerate, patient, and talking with her is so easy! I was so anxious about having to speak on the phone and after a minute I felt instantly at ease and knew right away that it was a safe space. She is a very uplifting person as well!
