Being able to connect with Melanie, her ability to easily relate to the cultural nuances impacting my current issues and situation, has made such a big difference in therapy. Without having to go into too much detail, Melanie just gets it. She conveys a good dose of sensitivity and understanding, while providing objectivity and thoughtful feedback on how to approach complicated family dynamics. I also highly recommend her if you are in the helping profession and trying to manage during a highly stressful time for many clinicians/providers. She's been a great support in this regard as well.

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.
