About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.

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.

Dawn is an amazing therapist. She's kind, always listens to you speak, and takes great pride in what she does. She's an amazing individual and deserves the biggest raise
Dawn is AMAZING
Dawn is amazing, she calls me out, and knows when to push the question and is OK with letting me get there
Dawn is such an amazing supporter and listener. She calls me out and holds me accountable and I severely appreciate it.
I really feel like Dawn brought a sense of openness and a genuine caring attitude. She has great listening skills and she shines by opening new portholes to see out of. I feel encouraged by her gentle but insightful support to be wiling to look at who I am with more courage.
Dawn is a great therapist. I’ve made a lot of progress this year working with her that wouldn’t have been possible alone. She has gone above and beyond helping me through some tough situations and I’m really grateful for her.
Dawn is so nice and understanding. I really enjoyed talking with her. It was like talking with a friend.
Dawn has been amazing in supporting me through all my struggles. Dawn is awesome!!
Very courteous, kind and listens. Great attributes to help others with!
Dawn is my very first therapist. I tend to be a closed book....I've had less than 5 sessions with her so far, and we've connected so quickly; I feel safe and secure sharing what I need to. She's a kind individual who listens to what I have to say, and offers coping skills and other "homework" for me to better myself. 100% recommended
