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.

Overall

I feel I have made quite a bit of progress with Dr. Parker’s support. She encourages me to keep learning new boundaries and not fall back on old habits when things get tough. When I look back I am proud of how many positive changes I have made and the addition items I want to work on.

Dr. Parker is an amazing therapist. She very much has helped me work through very long term and intense emotions. To a point where they no longer heavily impact my everyday. My mental health is in a healthier space than I've ever experienced before. I couldn't have gotten luckier with being matched with her. I am so grateful for her presence in my life as my therapist. She deserves all good things. Appreciate you Dr Parker!

Dr. Parker is very personable and makes you feel comfortable sharing your feelings. Just looking back at where I am when I started to where I am know is amazing. I have made many incremental changes to establish boundaries with negative influences in my life. I have many more goals to achieve. She holds me accountable for the self care I need to do and not fall off the wagon. I tried counseling off and on over the years but the regular support with Dr. Parker has made the difference. I am so glad I found Better Help and Dr. Parker.

Dr. Wanda is so insightful and has really helped me gain perspective on how to gain self- knowledge around the way my childhood experiences and the messages I received as a kid have affected me as an adult. She has helped me gain understanding as well as come up with ways to change my life going forward. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to improve their situation. Dr. Wanda has been fantastic!

Dr. Parker has been great. I have come so far in my personal development and learning to cope with my fears. I am learning new strategies to set boundaries, manage stress and enjoy a happier life. Dealing with the difficult challenge of dealing with pain and learning to heal.

C.O.·Mar 13, 2021

Overall

Dr. Parker has made counseling a painless experience. I was very nervous starting this process and very much felt like a failure for turning to counseling. Dr. Parker has helped me overcome that silly hang up and has really provided me the tools I need to deal with the issues I'm experiencing in my life. She provides a variety of options and talks me through them. She tries to really dig deep into the root of my issue to fully understand me. I feel like I've been heard and that she genuinely wants to help me and cares about the outcome. She's given me a level of confidence that I didn't think was possible. I'm forever grateful for being matched with her.

Overall

Dr. Parker has quickly become an integral part of my current life. We started my therapy during a time of big changes I was experiencing, with new trial and/or tribulations coming to surface on a weekly basis which had to be dealt with or talked through before returning back to my baseline of issues. Dr. Parker took this on with me in stride, she helped me to face a lot of my fears, see situations from a context outside of my own, hone me into the reality of the situation and helped bring to light contexts of it that were more black and white than I could have seen myself. Although I understand how the relationship between a client and his/her therapist works, to me, Dr. Parker has quickly grown into a friend/mentor-like figure for me. She won’t ever outright throw you some advice, as much as sometimes you might feel like you want it, but she will help color a situation and help you to see where it is that you might need to go. I have come to grow a lot of respect for her, she is strong and kind and she is understanding. She will make time for me and check up on me in times where maybe I need it more than usual. I’ve never had a strong and trusting relationship with a therapist before, I never felt like I ever got a chance to make a good fit with anyone prior to now. That’s why I’m grateful to BetterHelp for allowing us to connect with each other, finding a POC who may understand my concerns or my needs better than someone else would.
