Bernell is a wonderful therapist. After 2 failed attempts at finding a therapist, I found this amazingly gifted woman! She has listened intently to my fears, concerns, and goals. She has offered me some tools and strategies to begin processing my environment and my responsive behaviors. What I love most about her approach to helping me is that she is very supportive of me as I am learning to to show myself compassion for where/when I have fallen short of my goals or expectations, but she also challenges me to adopt new and healthy ways to hold myself accountable. I love it here! So grateful to have found her!!

About online counseling

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.

Very good sessions. So grateful. Has helped a lot. Very rare to meet an extraordinary person who genuinely cares about people. Thank you
She's perfect for me! And I love her she's absolutely amazing..
Everyone is handling things in their own way... From the first moment, just... a feeling, I knew right away Bernell got me in what I had to say. A very wise woman, a good listener, entangler of thoughts, -a beautiful, deep mind. I couldn’t hope for a better therapist and client match. I am very grateful for that.
I've had such a good experience with Bernell as my therapist. She's professional, kind, enthusiastic, and very conscientious about my situation and its challenges. I always receive timely and helpful replies to my messages, and feel much better after our sessions. I cannot recommend her enough.
