Louise has been very helpful during my times of need and I have enjoyed the sessions. I instantly felt like I could open up freely during these sessions and she made me feel at ease, heard and empathy when I was telling her my story.

Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.

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 a much more positive mindset than I did before my sessions with Louise. She listens and she offer strategies on how to deal with your problems, in an effective but judgmental free way. I strongly recommend Louise.

Louise helped me work through some stress and anxiety I’ve been experiencing. It usually manifests in overwhelm and panic attacks as well as dissociative behavior. She was so easy to talk to, personable, and had great resources that she shared with me like worksheets on values, strategies for dealing with stress and anxiety, and she listened as I went deeper into my relationship with my parents and partner. Highly recommend that you work with Louise!
