Dr. Bruce did not judge me for wanting to type my thoughts vs. wanting to talk in real time via messaging or over the phone. Some of "us" are intimidated by our abilities to speak as fast and think as fast as others. Typing allows me to be precise and thoughtful, which I feel for a great interaction and analysis of issues.

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.

Dr Bruce is the best! A kind, extremely competent, compassionate therapist and person.
Dr. Bruce has been very kind, supportive, and professional. I have been comfortable opening up to her about everything and I feel confident about the improvements she has helped me make.
Dr Bruce is very thorough and helpful. Her expertise is greatly appreciated. She has helped me uncover unhelpful behaviors and make appropriate changes.
Excellent!!!
She listens to me and realizes the area I need to work on after first meeting. I am impressed because sometimes people don't understand me well and instead of being helpful prevent me from recovering.
Dr. Bruce has been wonderful from the start. She has allowed to me express my thoughts and concerns and has already helped me in so many ways by just knowing that I have someone to reach out to. That is very comforting to me. I can’t thank her enough.
