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.

She is very upbeat and listens great. Makes you feel very comfortable
So incredibly gentle and receptive of the things I have been through and am currently going through. Asked me questions that allowed me to dig deeper into myself and really think. I didn't feel tense during our session at all, and am so grateful that I have found her and was able to work with her. Gives great insight and advice. Thank you Ana!
Ana is attentive.
