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.

I've been working with Pam on EMDR to relief me of my CPTSD. So far, it's been exactly what I needed. I have defeated most of my stomach issues and now we are working on the issues in my neck and back. Emotionally I am working on my flashbacks, depression, anxiety and anger. Pam is smart and straightforward and I appreciate her expertise.

Dr Kesler has been able to help me with 3 sessions more than any of the dozens of talk therapies I’ve gone through combined. I am so grateful for her- her dedication, her patience and passion for what she does. She is changing, saving, and preserving lives. Thank you, Dr. Kessler!
