More about Ted

  • 25 years' experience
  • Male
  • Psychologist

I am a licensed clinical psychologist, former teacher, veteran, and published researcher. I have over 25 years of experience working in inpatient and outpatient settings. I have worked in community mental health centers, private and not-for-profit hospitals, training institutions, staff model HMOs, and in private practice. I believe that asking for help is a true sign of maturity. My approach to therapy is to meet the client where they are in life. I take into consideration all aspects of a client’s life to create a unique treatment plan in order to help make changes toward a more fulfilling, connected, and healthier life. I used a variety of therapeutic approaches, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness techniques, client-centered therapy, insight-oriented therapy, psychodynamic approaches, hypnotherapy, and solution-focused therapy. I work with clients collaboratively to foster healing and to eliminate barriers in order to find meaning and to live life more fully.

About online counseling

Affordable.

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.
