About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.

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.

Charmaine is lovely—very knowledgeable and supportive!
I love meeting with Charmaine. I feel respected and seen. Her presence is very calming for me.
I absolutely love working with Charmaine! Her personality makes me look forward to our next session. She genuinely feels like a friend I can talk to about anything and she’s gonna point me in the right direction. She’s the best therapist I’ve had so far!
She’s so easy to talk to and I really look forward to our sessions every week. I feel like she’s been my therapist for years and it’s only about to be a year.
Charmaine is patient, kind and excellent i could not have received a better therapist. Even though i keep coming to her with the same problems, she is always there to listen
I feel very connected to Charmaine. She is a good listener and provides positive ways to cope that are easy to fit in daily routines.
She’s awesome! Simply put! Don’t look, just book!
Charmaine took the time to get to know me on a different level. She kept it professional yet almost personal. I appreciated all the chats we shared and the skills she gave me.
Charmaine is extremely kind and patient, but she’s honest with you when you need to hear it most. She is very considerate and encouraging, and I always finish a session feeling better than I did going into it.
