She’s very timely and easy to speak with, after our first session it became easier to look forward to our weekly sessions.

I can’t say enough how thankful I am for this wonderful human. Kamala really makes me feel heard and seen in every sense. She gives me the space to really open up and be vulnerable in my life in areas that I have a hard time putting my wall down for. Her guidance and encouragement and want for me to be the best me has really gotten me excited to be the best version of myself as well. There are many times I feel like I have the answer and sometimes I already have it figured out, but she always offers another side and another perspective in ways that I don’t see. My mind and thinking has expanded and taken turns I didn’t know were there. I highly recommend Kamala in every sense. My world is smoother and happier and more clear since I started having sessions with her.

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.

Kamala listens intently. And by doing so, she helps me find insights into my behaviours and past while providing me with actionable plans and habits geared towards my goals and hopes. She provided me with useful tools and exercises while leaving space for deep discussion and exploration. She is a great guidance and supporter.

Ive only had a few sessions but I feel an improvement in my state of mind already. Kamala is very communicative, sending messages and reaching out even in between sessions. She has mastered her listening skills and as a result asks just the right questions which spark deep introspection and openess to new ways of looking at and resolving issues. I feel comfortable talking to her, like she's a good friend. Like a great therapist. I Highly reccommend her.

Reviewed November 2023

After just one session with Kamala I felt at ease and I was confident that she was going to be able to help me. She listens intently, and processes what I have said before responding, and asks pointed questions to try to get to the core issue. We have a schedule, but she has told me that I can contact her whenever I feel I need to, and I have done just that and she always responds in a timely manner. I would highly recommend Kamala to anyone who is seeking help with personal issues.
