About online counseling

- Pay a low flat fee.

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.

I have been working with Vanessa over several months. I have really benefited from our sessions. Her expertise and compassion have helped me through many different life obstacles. I truly feel I have grown since I met her. Thankyou Vanessa.
Before meeting with Vanessa, I was a little nervous because of the first experience. But as soon as I heard her voice, I immediately relaxed. During the short period of our sessions, I was charged with extremely positive energy and now I can freely discuss any topics with her.
Vanessa is very understanding, respectful, straight to the point, down to earth & professional. She challenges me, which I love. I have never opened up to a mental health professional this much before, & she always has really helpful resources to help me better understand what's going & why. Cannot recommend Vanessa enough!
Vanessa is an amazing therapist, teacher and listener. She is also very deep person, has a lot of knowledge and experience in her. With her you will learn A LOT.
Vanessa is a good listener, who asks useful questions to get to the bottom of things, and she has a proactive approach. I like that she sends me explanatory videos of psychological concepts after our sessions, so I can get a deeper understanding of what I am dealing with.
Vanessa is excellent to work with. Very attentive and she provides lots of excellent feedback as well as great tools to work with. I highly recommend her.
Vanessa is kind, caring and most importantly compassionate. She challenges my thinking and gives me helpful advice on how to overcome my issues. She’s amazing, and I couldn’t recommend her enough!
Vanessa was a great help and I had the most enriching and eye opening sessions with her. She was a good listener, she always made me feel heard and validated, and I learned a lot about myself in the process!
Great listener, and great adviser. Vanessa is a very nice person, very positive, who talks us through our issues step by step. Highly recommend her !
