Wanda came into my life at a time of great need/ great grief and took time to understand me and provide the best help that was needed for me and helped me out of this cave I got myself into. The best part was that the she really worked in the way that worked best for me. I dont know what I would have done without her. I am forever happy to have met her in my life. I found a wonderful therapist and a friend in her. Therapy works wonders! 100% I would recommend Wanda to anyone I know!

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.
