Chris is an exceptional person. His attention to detail and genuine care for others really stand out. He’s deeply committed to understanding and resolving any problems or challenges that come up, always approaching them with thoughtfulness and compassion. What sets Chris apart is his ability to truly listen. He doesn’t just hear what’s being said he takes the time to understand the underlying emotions and perspectives. This quality makes him particularly valuable for Black men, as he not only relates to their experiences but also creates a safe and supportive space to open up. In our culture, where Black men are often hesitant to express vulnerability, having someone like Chris who understands, connects, and encourages dialogue is incredibly impactful. His presence is both inspiring and transformative.

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.
