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.

Amanda is amazing. She keeps things professional but also makes me feel like a friend. I look forward to our sessions and I respect her immensely.
Amanda is a very great therapist! Very professional and friendly with a keen attention to detail. She provides actionable feedback and strategies for whatever your situation entails.
Amanda is a really solid therapist!10/10 would recommend!
Amanda is such a great therapist! She has such a warm and comforting energy and take validates you and makes you feel sane. I feel like I have received really tangible help and support from her. It's such a lifesaver to have a therapist who you feel like you can count on and reach out to any time you're feeling anxious or going crazy inside. She's the best!
Amanda is a great listener with thoughtful responses and insightful input. I found her at a real low in my life and she’s helped me find ways to look inward and work on finding true forgiveness. I’m so grateful to have exchanged with her. Would highly recommend.
