Esther is the best therapist I’ve ever had. She listens intently, always respects my perspectives and always makes me feel seen and heard. I always feel lighter after a session with her. She gives excellent guidance when asked and keeps me at the center of each conversation. She keeps me on track when I go off on tangents in the most respectful way, I never feel dismissed. She is there for all the highs and lows, never missing a beat. Highly highly recommend Esther!

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.
