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.

Knowledgeable and wise in her profession! I love who she pays attention and give different ways to you situation!
Kenyatta has reached out to check on me several times since our first session. I really appreciate the time she takes. She checked on me when she was out of the office and that meant alot.
She is very easy to talk to but still tells me when I need to stop and think about things and I just love our sessions. She is so kind and funny and just overall great!
