Shanti is a great therapist and really helped me

Reviewed November 2024

Shanti is another level of therapist. She has the ability to really get to the heart of the issue at hand, sees you as a human, and has something special that enables her to help where others may not have been successful. She sees the long term and makes sure that’s part of the plan. She isn’t a quick fixer. Shanti is very talented and a gem to have in our area.

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 had 2 sessions with her so far and she has been so great. She is attentive. She listens when I talk. She gives great tips on how to handle my week until the next session. She gives worksheets that are relevant to the things we've discussed. I am already looking forward to my next appointment.

Reviewed November 2024

She’s amazing. Very considerate of one’s preferred way of communicating and is very supportive, knowledgeable, and understanding. I’m glad I picked her.
