Hello! My name is Itzel Velasco and I am a Bilingual Marriage and Family Therapist. I have a passion for working with family systems, adolescents and adult clients. I approach all of my clients with empathy and believe that instilling hope is the most important part of my role as a therapist. My background in Child and Family development drives my therapeutic style which explores the impact of early childhood experiences in adulthood as well as attachment styles.

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.
