Tina is very thoughtful and to the point - I appreciate that because I wasn’t looking for someone who would babysit my feelings. I’ve appreciated the fact that she does a check in - and sometimes even gives me “homework” to do as I work through things. This helps me outside of our sessions to process. She has a very peaceful and wise demeanor.

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.
