Dr. Neavin has helped me with issues I've had for years. I'm always impressed by her ability to be both extremely caring and empathetic, as well as stern when she needs to be. She has never come across as judgemental and is all around a fantastic therapist, I count myself extremely lucky that I found her on this app

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.
