I have always been a nervous person when it comes to therapy. But Nicole has been the first therapist I've ever had to give me a calm and safe space while talking. She is always checking in and reassessing situations to make sure i am okay! Im super thankful for Nicole!

About online counseling

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.

I didnt know what to expect from therapy and even after a short time Nicole has helped me so much. She taught me to help myself in moments I struggled with. She is understanding, kind and non-judgmental. I look forward to our sessions every week. Nicole has truly helped my outlook and my thought process and I hope I have a long journey with her as my counselor ahead.
