I worked with Monica for about 6 months during a period of unusual stress and anxiety in my life. I found Monica to be kind, caring, supportive and insightful. She provided a calm haven in a storm that gave me the space to hear my own words and thoughts. I feel stronger and more peaceful and ready to move forward. I will definitely come back to therapy with Monica as needed and I would recommend her to anyone seeking connection and support.

About online counseling

Affordable.

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.

Reviewed September 2021

Monica is a very kind, patient, and understanding professional. I found it very easy to open up to her about my thoughts and feelings within me, and she found ways to further that with being able to empathize and relate to some of my issues. She offers great tools and ways to look/frame issues I am going through. I even had a breakdown during a session and she got me to calm down and stabilize in a very quick time. I hope to stay with her for a while.
