Where do I even begin with Laura? From the moment I was matched with her during a tough time in the hospital, I knew she was something special. Her compassionate demeanor and insightful approach immediately put me at ease. Over the past few months, she's been instrumental in helping me navigate through some of my darkest moments and mental obstacles. Laura doesn't just listen; she truly hears me, understanding the nuances of my struggles and guiding me towards solutions. With her support, I've learned the importance of setting boundaries and prioritizing my mental health. I can confidently say that I'm in a much better place today, all thanks to Laura's expertise and unwavering support. She's not just a therapist; she's a beacon of hope and a lifeline for anyone lucky enough to work with her. Thank you, Laura, for helping me find my strength and guiding me towards a brighter future.

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.
