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.

Barbara is so great she listens and always supports I would highly recommend her !
Barbara is so patient and allows me to speak through all of my thoughts before giving her perspective. She allows me to see connections and patterns in my life that can allow me to heal. Self-awareness is the first step and she is wonderful about guiding you to that in such a kind way.
