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.

Dr T just makes it so easy to open up and talk and you feel comfortable with her immediately or atleast I did for sure.
So easy to talk with , makes you feel very comfortable
The best!!! She's helped me through so much.
Very easy to talk with, makes you feel comfortable.
I’m so glad i got matched with Dr T. After a bad first experience with another therapist i was about to give up, but she encouraged me to give it another go and i’m so glad i did! Building a therapeutic alliance with Dr T has been super rewarding, and although the work is hard, i’m glad i’m doing this for myself. Dr T will come in clutch with statements that blow everything wide open and she’s exactly what i need in my life now.
Dr. T is an incredible therapist. She creates a safe, engaging space where I feel safe to share my thoughts and experiences. She regularly holds me accountable for my actions and helps me to foster more healthy thought processes. Through working with her, I have been able to meet myself where I am currently in my mental and emotional states, but also feel motivated in setting achievable goals for being a healthier and more present version of myself. I am very grateful to have Dr T in my life, and hope to continue working with her. Thanks for being the best, Dr T!
Very pleased and she has helped me work through a good number of inner turmoil issues within myself and going on within my life, couldn’t ask for a better therapist
I’ve only had one video session so far and lots of texting. Dr Harvey is very supportive and empathetic. I look forward to more sessions and to my healing.
Dr. Harvey is a rare human being: both expert in her field, attentive to specific therapeutic goals we have set together, and extremely present, focussed, thoughful and kind. She is never afraid to share insights or not, intuiting the needs of the moment. I would recommend her unconditionally to anyone who feels stuck and is ready for some gentle, consistent and prodding.
So easy to talk to and that makes a world of difference for me
I’m so grateful for having Dr. Harvey and as my therapist ! She is a real professional and an amazing person. When we just started, I was so mentally exhausted and stressed, but after 5-6 months of our sessions, I feel much happier. I gained so much confidence and inner peace :) thank you for that!
She is a great therapist! She cares about me and guide me over to the right directions!!!
Dr. Harvey was an amazing therapist to work with! She really helped me work through the complications going on in my life and would glad recommended her to others.
So grateful for finding Dr.Harvey! You can see how much she cares about her patients, always listens, understands. There is definitely some progress after our sessions
Down to Earth, Calls it as she sees it. Measured but direct. Glen K
She is the best !
I've had a few therapists in the past and speaking to them always felt so clinical. Dr T's sessions make me feel so comfortable so I can really get to the crux of the support I need. She makes me feel heard and like my struggles are valid
