Recent reviews
After two sessions, I've been nothing but pleased in talking with Valentina. Although I'd consider myself extroverted, I'm not one to rub elbows with people that I can tell don't have my best interest at heart; Valentina is warm, knowledgeable, and is clearly interested in my well-being. She does a bang-up job of keeping me aligned and asking relevant questions, as I have a tendency to be a bit tangential in thoughtful conversation. I've loved speaking with her, and I plan to continue to do so for the foreseeable future.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.

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.
