Alan is an amazing and compassionate therapist who has provided me effective strategies in coping with my personal issues. I found significant improvements and success since working with Alan.

Reviewed June 2023

Alan has been incredibly helpful with improving my stress management coping mechanisms, and overall anxiety. He has been very compassionate, understanding, and solution-oriented without being pushy, so it has been a great experience. I’ve seen a huge difference in how I manage stressful situations and I’m now able to think of positive things (instead of spiraling into my worries and negative self talk). Amazing and I absolutely recommend!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
