Brenda is mindful, curious, and respectful in regards of my lived experience and struggles. She is inviting and easy to talk to. The fluidity of our sessions makes me feel heard and grounded. Brenda brings wisdom and knowledge to our session and provide resources to help support me through my therapy. Since my therapy with Brenda, I have become more open about therapy and the benefits that comes out of it. I also recommended therapy to friends and family to try therapy.

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.
