About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
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.

Lovely person Listens intently Encouraging and understanding.
She is amazing, reliable, great listen and provide great support.
Michelle is kind and caring... she's like a mother to me :)
Michelle is very warm, kind and easy to talk to. She shows empathy and understanding of every situation. She explains everything really well and the science behind the way we think and the way we are, which helps me have a better understanding of myself and humans in general. I am in the early stages of my therapy journey but would recommend Michelle to anyone that is thinking about taking that first step or considering changing therapists. You won’t regret it! I am looking forward to my mental health journey with Michelle as my therapist.
Michelle is patient and a great listener.
