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.

Amazing therapist! She helped me overcome some childhood trauma and gave me useful tools along the way.
Even though I only did a couple of sessions and it being my first touch on therapy, I really enjoyed Jimiko’s help. I can’t explain much because I haven’t had too much time but in the short bit it was really good for trying to get into therapy.
