I voiced that I wanted a specific counselor they worked with me to get me the counselor that I requested. And if that counselor wasn't available, they give me a list of other counselors to look over and choose from. Then had me send back a list of my choices in order of who I wanted the most. It was amazing to be heard and respected and have such great response. I think in this day and age we are used to not getting that type of customer service. The rates are more than reasonable and you don't just get your sessions you get access to group seminars you get access to your counselor 24/7 where you can send a message or they can send you a message. There's several ways to utilize the platform whether it's with video chat, texting, or by a phone call. The counselors they have have a wide range of experiences and expertise. So you really can find one that fits your needs. It's awesome! I can't say enough about it!"
