About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online 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.

Dr. Subbiah was so helpful to me during very bad post partum anxiety and depressive episodes. Once we worked through that she helped me dig deeper into my PTSD and help me learn coping strategies. She talked with me about my suspected medical diagnosis and encouraged me to speak with my primary doctor. Turns out we were right and now I'm getting the correct help and treatment I need. I think about her often and wish I could just update her on my life. She felt like a friend that I could trust with anything and I use her advice daily.

Dr. Subbiah is one of the smartest people I’ve ever interact it with. Her attention to details and knowledge makes her an amazing therapist. I’m so glad I got connect her. She made a positive impact in my life from the first session.

Overall

Dr. Subbiah has been very helpful in treating my PTSD and helping me deal with the symptoms of both OCD and Bipolar Depression. I don't know how I would have gotten through Covid without her. Not only is she compassionate and really listens without making me feel judged or rushed, she's also very experienced and knowledgeable in the various methods of treating complex mental health issues. Her level of expertise isn't going to be found in a Licensed Clinical Social Worker or someone with a master's in social work. She's a great psychologist and I feel so lucky to have the opportunity to be her client.
