Life events sometimes throw us curve balls when we least expect it. Do you now or often experience anxiety, depression, post traumatic stress, or the possibility of ending a relationship? These are stressors that give us feelings of uncertainty and hopelessness, impacting your ability to function in relationships, occupation, social life, and obtaining educational goals. Does it seem as though you've been knocked down once too many times and getting up is a struggle? When in the middle of a struggle, words such as "tomorrow" and "feeling better" seem so far away.

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.

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.

Darlene is an active listener. She lets you guide the conversation and knows how to ask important questions to draw out underlying aspects of what you are going through. She is knowledgeable about a variety of therapy techniques and I feel confident in her ability to help me with my complex therapy needs. Strongly recommend.
Very easy to open up too. I struggled opening up in therapy in the past. Listens very well and shows me different points of views
Darlene is really caring and provides a lot of practical wisdom and knowledge to my current situations. I really appreciate her reaching out to check in on me and I leave each session feeling like I can do something to help me grow.
