Jeff's casual and personable approach to therapy is the best thing I could've hoped for. I felt like I was talking to a friend, not a psychologist or a cold, distant entity, even though we lived 8 time zones apart. He helped open my eyes to ways of thinking that I'd never considered, and learn to love myself a little bit - which is a big deal for me. To say I've made progress since talking to Jeff is an understatement. I might struggle to see it, but I've become a big part of what I wanted to be. If you feel like you need a friend, who also happens to be a qualified therapist, get in touch with Jeff. I promise you won't regret it.

More about Jess

Starting therapy can be a scary thing. For some people they may see it as admitting to being broken or too weak to handle their problems on their own. Others may see therapy as a waste of time or money. In reality we just need help or feel like the world is just too confusing and scary to understand or cope with. That makes total sense if we stop and look at the world around us. Sometimes life hits us so hard that we don't know what to do next. And I am here to help you figure it out along the way.

My own style of counseling is more casual and I tend to use humor quite a bit. There is nothing you could do or say to shock or offend me; so don't worry about that and use what ever language you like.

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.

Great therapist!
Great person and listener
She is a great therapist and such a wonderful person to talk too
Jeffrey is a great therapist. He is easy to talk to. He provides excellent feedback and advice.
Jeffrey gives me insight I can’t even fathom myself to conjure up. I am able to be so much to others and he does that for me. I’m very lucky.
Really kind and friendly. Extremely understanding. I feel comfortable talking with them and sharing what needs to be share. Wields the Uno reverse with great power but understands the responsibility that comes with it. 12/10 will definitely therapy again.
Jeffrey listens and gives sound advice.
The best!
A caring counselor who demonstrates good interpersonal communication skills and great active listening skills.
I think Jeffrey has a good heart and intent, but he may want to be a bit more thoughtful on his intent vs. his impact with his language. I shared feedback with Jeffrey and he acknowledged it, but I think there is an opportunity for him to truly own his perspectives and improve communication with clients from diverse backgrounds.
Overall he has great service, thoughtfull responses, and the responses are applicable/relatable.
Jeffrey really helped me out when I was going through a tough time. He made me feel very comfortable and he was easy to talk to, which is something I’ve struggled to find from therapists in the past. I would definitely recommend him.
So far, so good. In my opinion, Jeff has already gotten to the root cause of my issues. I am hoping and praying that his suggestions work for me! ! !
