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.

Talking with James just works.. He's down to earth, none judgmental and just so easy to talk to.. he's an intuitive listener... very punctual, beyond all of his insights that he offers... we can even have a laugh when talking about such tense and uncomfortable things and in my book that can be a form of therapy in and of itself... I highly recommend james.. Great guy.. can't say enough good about him.. 10/10

Reviewed November 2023

Spencer is fantastic. He’s ready to listen, and really listen. He doesn’t just go through the motions. He has a gift for understanding what tools are useful to you quickly and spends time developing them from an early stage. He’s really a fantastic therapist and I would highly recommend him to anyone either going through therapy the first time or the 30th. I’ve had A LOT of therapists, and it is rare to find one as engaging and that listens and communicates as well as Spencer.

Spencer is someone who listens! He offers pointers and helped me identify the real issue at hand. He spoke to me as a good father speaks to his son. He doesn't teach, he guided me to identify the key issues and chat a roadmap to resolve them. I enjoyed every session with him.
