Ms. Jenkins is very attentive and I felt very comfortable to open up to her which is kind of hard for me. The session just flowed well and she checks on me frequently which is a plus. I would definitely recommend her and her expertise. I’m doing the work she recommended and healing is beginning I’m so glad I picked her best decision I have made!!!!

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.

Wendy makes me feel safe, and comfortable to share with her. She is very reassuring, kind and supportive.
I absolutely LOVE talking to Wendy! She always gives me a perspective I wouldn’t have considered and after talking to her I learned ti help myself see other perspectives I wouldn’t have considered. I’m so appreciative of learning that skill
I love Ms. Wendy. Every session I feel like a burden has been lifted off my shoulders. She’s so easy to talk to. I don’t regret choosing her as my counselor!
I really enjoy my messages with, Wendy! She's attentive, kind, warm, inviting, positive, honest, patient, and empathetic. I highly recommend her! She's made therapy actually therapeutic. Sometimes you just need to let it all out, and Wendy has been a great person to vent to.
