I cannot speak highly enough of my experience with Katie as my therapist. From the very first session, she created a safe, warm, and welcoming space where I felt truly heard and understood. Katie has an incredible ability to listen with compassion and provide insightful feedback that has helped me tremendously on my personal journey. Her approach is both professional and empathetic, striking the perfect balance between offering support and gently challenging me to grow. I have made significant progress in understanding myself, managing my emotions, and tackling difficult situations, all thanks to Katie's guidance. She has an intuitive sense of what I need in each session, always offering tools and strategies that are practical and effective. Katie is truly a gift, and I feel fortunate to have her as my therapist. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a compassionate, skilled, and insightful therapist.

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.
