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.

James has been an amazing therapist. When I started working with him, I was in the darkest part of an emotionally abusive relationship. James was amazingly supportive and helped me find a new perspective and a safe path out of a dark place, without ever sugar-coating anything. James helped me hold myself and others accountable while also helping me build healthy boundaries and build the foundation to live the kind of life I want. I genuinely feel that working with James may have saved my life and I will always be grateful to him.
