Shannon is so well versed in so many different areas. I started therapy with one issue in mind, but life provided me with new twists and turns over the past year. There is no question I could not have done this alone, or at least with as much confidence and optimism as with Shannon along side of me. I never expected to get this much out of therapy. Thank you Shannon.

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.

Shannon has been the best clinician that I could have asked for. She helped me through my darkest moments and has given me the tools and support to resolve my past and to be able to move forward in a healthy manner. Would recommend.

Shannon is amazing. I will be honest, this was my first time using BetterHelp and I was extremely nervous but Shannon truly creates a safe space. She will be extremely honest with you, which has created more confidence for me to allow the raw emotions and thoughts that I am having to be expressed unapologetically. Shannon does care and wants to also see you be confident in the ways you are improving your life. If you are scared or nervous, don't be because Shannon will care for you each step of the way.

Shannon is a great therapist. She does a wonderful job of making me feel really comfortable. Coming into therapy was a new experience for me and I was very anxious about it, but Shannon calmed my nerves immediately. She may tell the honest truth and push me to places that are uncomfortable, but I know she has my best interest at heart. She assigns homework and send me tests to take to keep me engaged, which I find to be very helpful. Shannon always makes time for me and responds in a timely manner. Overall, she is a great fit for me and she is very talented at what she does.
