Rayla has been a breath of fresh air. I was hesitant to join therapy again due to past incompatibility but Rayla has been open, honest, knowledgeable and shows that she wants me to “win”. It feels like our sessions are more than just a job to her and she is helpful with resources to guide me as we walk this journey.

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.
