I have been struggling and barely mnging for three yrs now. In a matter of two sessions she had me more calm nlistening to reality a lil better. I was excepting things I could n could not chg. She gv me small task to be able to make progress. Which we all know that when u feel accomplished u feel better. But the reality of the hard truth came w standing up to the situation. I want to thank Megan bc she helped make that a possibility. She kept me from a ledge as some would say. Sincerely, Kmerritt

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.
