I would highly recommend Courtney Nelson as a Therapist. She is kind, compassionate, sensitive and always available. She is a credit to herself and her Profession. She presents suggestions for clients to work on issues and does not push the individual to achieve goals in a specific time frame…. Very patient, understanding, flexible, consistent, and genuinely interested in her clients. She also mixes some humor in sessions when one’s pain is excruciating.

She is very calming and down to earth. She listens to all my issues and tries to give me goals to accomplish each week. And she’s funny, so that helps. I would highly recommend her!

About online counselling
- Counselling without referrals.
- No doctor referral required.
- Convenient.
- Virtual counselling sessions are a flexible alternative to in-person therapy.
- Available now.
- Counselling in as little as 48 hours. No waiting list and no calls to make.
Online counselling 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 counselling is generally more affordable than in-person counselling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counselling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
