What impressed me the most about Ruth David was her empathy and compassion. She is genuinely invested in my well-being and shows unwavering support as I work through the complexities of narcissistic abuse. Her ability to validate my experiences and emotions without any judgment is incredibly healing and empowering. I am grateful for her expertise, compassion, and guidance during my healing journey. If you are seeking support and understanding in navigating the aftermath of narcissistic abuse, I highly recommend reaching out to Ruth.

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.
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.
