When I was first placed with Karen Birchette, I told her that I didn't like therapy due to past bad experiences; she acknowledged my concerns but, somehow, she got me to open up about my issues in our very first session. I was extremely comfortable speaking to her, as if she were an old friend. Karen is a very kind and relatable soul who is very quick to realize the root of an issue. With her gentleness, she was able to help guide me to certain self-realizations which lead to solving my larger problems as a whole. I couldn't recommend her enough and believe that, with her patience and support, others would too have a good experience with therapy as I did with her.

I really enjoy talking with Karen. She does not judge me at all. In fact she pushes me to strive to find self love and allows me to train my brain to think differently in certain situations. She calms me down whenever I call her with an urgent matter and I appreciate how she is able to do so! She is great!

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.
