Dr. Escobar-Chew is very patient and a skilled listener. She is always able to help me find the words to express how I’m feeling and understand why I’m feeling things way. Her insight is always from a place of “I see you”, as she puts herself in my situations and navigates from a lens that has potential to heal.

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.

Dr. Ana is defintelty the best therapist I have had in my 29 years of life. She is super supportive and constructive on working on personal goals for correcting my behavioral issue and relationship issues. I have never had such positive results from interacting with a therapist and she really has put a lot of time and effort in helping me become a healthier and mentally stronger person. I truly feel comfortable and able to be vulnerable and she puts me in my place when I have unhealthy thoughts or ideologies, in a very professional, polite, and supportive way... I truly appreciate her and her expertise.

Dr. Escobar Chew is an incredible therapist. She makes me feel heard, cared for, and offers extremely valuable resources for me to go deeper on my therapy journey even outside of our sessions. I always leave our sessions feeling renewed with a sense of clarity, and she also makes an effort to respond in a very helpful manner to my messages throughout the week. I couldn’t recommend her enough!

Reviewed December 2023

Dr. E is a great listener, she is able to rephrase what I communicated in a way that helps me to further crystallize my thoughts. Also she has a very consistent soft nurturing tone that helps me relax and sometimes cry if I need to. I also have tasked her with sending me supplemental reading and resources which she has been able to do effectively. I like that she doesn’t take any her own personal experiences unlike a prior therapist. And I like that she is careful and considerate even when I am not doing so great and may be moody or easily irritated or arrogantly diverting the topic etc. She did a session with my partner and I which to my estimation required an extremely skilled therapist. She is very good. And I have been quitting with her for about 9 months. Despite the nature of BPD individuals (such as myself), to get too close then push away… I didn’t dump her which is really a great mark in her part because she does still try to help my see things more clearly and keep me engaged. Rather than just affirming everything in say and like simplifying my issues. She stays in with me and I appreciate her genuinely for that.
