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.

Amanda has helped me so much with insomnia.
Amanda listens to understand and then helps provide things to try
Amanda helped me overcome my anxiety and be comfortable with uncomfortable feelings. Thank you!
She is amazing and allows me to freely express myself without intruding or overwhelming
She's just perfect for what I need.
Amanda is an incredible listener and has a wealth of knowledge. I have had multiple therapist before Amanda on this app and she is by far my favorite. Just very easy to talk to and super compassionate.
She’s very knowledgeable and is good at pointing out negative thinking when I speak. Highly recommend!
Ms. Amanda is a very introspective soul that is great at listening, as well as invoking new thought into your perspective. She excels at effectively dealing with a variety of issues, but is especially good with trauma and relationships. I’d highly recommend her to anyone I know that is struggling with these areas and mental health in general. I had a lot of doubts surrounding therapy initially, but Amanda has eliminated these not only through helping me to think in more positive ways, but also by showing me that psychologists can effectively help others make the changes they’d like to make within their own mind. I greatly appreciate her and everything she does :)
Amanda is professional, listens and has helped me significantly. I am a better person because of her guidance and therapy.
Amanda is the BEST! I had never gone to therapy before but she has been great with me while I am figuring it out. She always matches my energy depending on the kind of day I’m having and why kind of session it is. So glad I got matches with her!
If you are with her, you're in great hands! She is a great therapist and you will see great results!
I can talk with her more easily and openly than I've ever spoken with anyone in my life. Even in just a few weeks I feel like a happier person.
Very helpful and supportive
