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.

My life is forever changed thanks to Zaakia! This has been the best decision of my life and I KNOW that I am capable of doing life in a much healthier and happier way. BetterHelp was the perfect choice for me.
Zaakia is a dynamic communicator & listener! Her feedback is objective & balanced. I feel heard, yet directed toward practical solutions & helpful information that sometimes might be uncomfortable, but necessary. I've recommended Better Help to friends, because of Zaakia. I feel like I hit the jackpot getting Zaakia as my therapist!
I am so appreciative of the perspective Zaakia brings to our sessions. She has helped me with tools to change my thinking. She is relatable and caring.
Timing is truly everything! Since I started with Ms Z she has been very instrumental in my new journey. She listened to me with no judgement and complete compassion and understanding. Provide great support and encouragement and responded to all my messages. I would highly recommend her. Thanks Ms Z!
She truly listens to me. We only just started but I know she will help me.
Zaakia is exactly what I needed & hoped for. Attentive to details, engaging, listens not only to my words, but is able to articulate my heart & she's professional & personable at the same time! I feel like I got lucky & I look forward, with renewed hope, to our sessions. I think she's fantastic!
