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.

Financial restrictions are the only reason I'm putting a hold on therapy at the moment. David is fantastic -- exactly what I was looking for in a therapist -- and hope that he would be wiling and able to take me back on as a patient, once I'm able to re-enroll.

I’ve only been working with David for a short time. But in that time he’s helped me organize my thoughts, and helped me strive for a better future even if I don’t feel like I’ll see it. I truly believe that I’m not the only one that’s been helped by this respectful, caring, and thoughtful man. Sincerely, thank you David.
