About online counseling

Affordable.

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 highly recommend Kim, she has jumped in to my chaotic reality and been very helpful in the most stressful time in my life. It is comforting to have her expertise and understanding while I transition from a failing marriage. She has helped me stay calm and find the courage to keep my boundaries and focus on my healing process.

Where to begin… It took me years to find someone who I felt like understood the situation I was in. When I found Kim my world was closed off and I felt lost. She has been fundamental in my growth and understanding. I have been working with her for multiple years now and I’m grateful because life lately has been really amazing. She’s incredibly patient, understanding but also challenging. We’ve moved through so many different stages of my healing and as we progress through each I feel the ability to go deeper because I trust her. She’s great and I’m thankful to work with her.

Kim was very kind and timely and gave some great advice.

Reviewed May 2023

Kim was a great help to me. When you're grappling with life or relationship issues, it's easy to have a limited point of view. You just have the conversation in your own head as reference, which is very subjective. Kim helped provide a more objective, experienced view of things, which was really grounding for me. I kind of learned what I needed to worry about, and what I didn't. She was a good sounding board for my thoughts, questions, and worries. In the end I did achieve my therapy goal with her help: becoming a stronger individual and asserting my boundaries with a difficult person in my life. Thanks Kim!

My time with Kim was very productive. I highly recommend here.

Reviewed June 2022

I really enjoyed working with Kim. She offers so much wisdom in questioning my perspective on things in a very subtle way. Everything that I wanted to work on was prioritized and she held me accountable for the things I promised I would do while I was not in sessions with her. Kim reminded me that a lot of what I'm going through is often self-imposed based on social norms and that I could think and be more creative when working on my problems and working towards the life I desire. I would work with her again anytime. She's been very helpful to talk to.
