Dr Bradley is awesome! There are very few people in my life that corral me to stay on point and she does! I like this because it helps me stay on point. Among other things, it’s wonderful to have a councilor that actually talks to you instead of sitting just listen with no advice! She gives me the guidance I need honestly

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.

Dr. Verda is a wonderful person and therapist who offers me really quality support
I have been in therapy with Dr Verda for a year now. She is someone I can trust with many details of my personal life, and I deeply value her opinion and advice. At a stressful time in my life, our sessions helped me offload and reflect on ways to better cope. A year later, I feel that I have the inner resources to better cope with my anxieties and the people around me. This self-improvement is rooted in the support, advice and acceptance Dr Verda has provided me. I feel very fortunate to have found her.
She takes the time to really analyze what I'm saying when I'm expressing what's on my mind. She reminds me of what was of the past isn't no more to keep on being me n I'm going to make it in my journey as a lion with battle scars of survival. I
Dr. Bradley is incredibly caring and goes above and beyond. I have gained a lot of insight with her expertise.
Dr. Bradley is very kind and attentive, a great listener and an amazing support for weathering challenges in life.
I am very satisfied so far with my experience with Dr Bradley. I feel that we are making progress on the issue I have and her support so far has been very helpful.
Dr. Bradley is very insightful and thoughtful. She always remembered the conversations we had from our last sessions and asked good questions that were very insightful. Really needed and appreciated all of my sessions with her!!
Dr. Bradley has done in 2 sessions what I couldn't process on my own for years. I realize that there is still a long way to go - but Dr. Bradley has been very supportive and professional so far.
I just started therapy with Dr. Bradley and I am really appreciating her incredible expertise. She is so great with details and remembers the smallest details I mention. She has a really warm yet professional presence and I grew comfortable with telling her things quite quickly. I am really looking forward to continuing to work with Dr. Bradley.
