Amy is an empathetic, professional, insightful, and caring therapist. She puts you at ease with how you are feeling because she doesn't judge or push you to feel a certain way. She meets me where I am, regardless of what that means at any given time and helps me find healthier coping mechanisms & challenge negative thoughts. I feel hopeful again, with her as my therapist

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.
