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.

Kristie has been so wonderful! She understands my goals and has great ideas on how to get there. I gave gotten so lucky that I have her. She responds very quickly. She checks in on me. She never judges me. She has great points and advice. She listens and her calm voice is soothing. Her insights are amazing. I'm not a very open person. I mean it's not easy to see my inner workings but she's so observant that she can. I'm fortunate and extremely grateful.

My first session with Kristie made me feel heard and understood. I was assigned homework which showed me she wants to help me...and I love that she's available to chat at any time. This makes me feel like I am in a safe place to reach out to her at no matter what. She asked me deep questions and was very thorough when giving me feed back.
