I love working with Michelle! She is a great listener and really knows how to make you feel comfortable. She has helped me navigate some difficult situations.

I recently decided to go back to therapy after years and not really finding anyone that clicked. With Michelle I felt comfortable right away. She's kind and understanding. I really enjoy that she gives some personal examples to make me feel not alone. It's almost like I am just having a converstaion with a friend. I would highly recommend her.

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.
