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.

Very down to earth and helpful, really helped me work through my problems
Kim identified a solution to my problems in a snap after I explained my situation, and offered me a new perspective of thinking about myself and others in my surrounding.
Brilliant therapist.
I have only had two sessions with Kim so far, but I instantly clicked with her and her suggestions are very helpful. I have put a few into practice and it’s helping me to remind myself to check in to see how I’m feeling, and why. She is helping me to work through my issues with relatively simple but effective suggestions, and listens/understands without judgement.
Very good person to speak to. She listens and is very professional and polite and understanding.
Great communication and understanding always, highly recommended
Extremely helpful and supportive, highly recommended
Just what I needed, and then found it so beneficial I stuck with her. Thank you
Lovely, friendly, helpful,understanding woman. Highly recommended.
Kim has been instrumental in helping me feel better with who I am, and I can attribute my improvements in self esteem and mental health in general to the work we’ve done together. I highly recommend her to anyone struggling with identity, self doubt and anxiety. Thank you Kim!!
