About online counseling

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.

Wonderful
Shemeah provides a calm and open space for me to share my thoughts a feelings then brings up questions that allow me to explore meaningful resolutions in my life.
Shemeah is great! She truly understands the importance of hearing and also providing advice. She is very professional!
Shemeah is so wise and timely in her encouragement and counsel. She listens and somehow hears what is going on behind all the details of my words. She asks great questions that drill down to the core of my thought processes and challenges me in a very kind way to evaluate the thought pattern to see if it is true and what other thoughts might be true around my circumstances. I would highly recommend her to a friend, and look forward to talking with her each week. She always responds when i submit journals for her to see, even when there isn't really a question or urgent need. I believe Shemeah is caring, professional and offers counsel that is helping me heal.
I just had my first session with her. She’s INCREDIBLE. She’s kind, warm, empathetic, inviting, listens intently making me feel heard, intellectually stimulating, and educates without being patronizing. A+
