About online counseling

Affordable.

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.

I’ve been able to take a step back and see my actions and thoughts are impactful to the people around me and to breathe and keep busy in order not to get lost in my own negativity.

Reviewed May 2024

I feel heard by Sheila and she understands what I’m going through and acknowledges my struggles.

Reviewed March 2024

From the very start, Sheila made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process and really listens to you. I also love how she gives you homework to work on outside of sessions, which were very helpful and crucial for me in my healing journey. Lately, she sends very inspirational and motivational quotes that helped me remember that I’m doing a good job and just be proud and kinder to myself in the process.
