Dr Novitskie is a wonderful therapist that I would 100% recommend! I feel very comfortable with and taken seriously by her so that opening up about trauma and anxieties feels totally natural. She helped me reflect on my past and understand my current thoughts so that now I feel so much clearer in my head. I am always looking forward to our next session. Thank you so, so much!

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
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.
