Working with Nia has been an incredibly positive experience. She is very easy to talk to, and she actively listens in a way that makes you feel genuinely heard and understood. She engages fully in every session and follows situations with a natural, fluid ability that makes difficult conversations feel safe and manageable. Nia has a calming, comforting presence that really helps you open up and explore what’s going on beneath the surface. Her support has already made a meaningful difference, and I’m grateful for the insight and clarity she’s helped me find. I 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.
