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.

- 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.

Amy is the best. She has helped me in a journey over the last year + that has resulted in me being in the best mental space of my adult life.
This is my first time ever going to therapy. When I talk to overs and my experience with it, they are shocked. They have all siad it took years to find a therapist that helped them the way Amy helped me. I could not have asked for a better therapist.
Amy has been an absolute joy and great match in my mental healing journey. Very grateful for her honesty, humor, and knowledge.
Amy is great!
