Always dedicated to his patients/clients whatever you want to call them. Always responds in a timely manner and shows the utmost respect and professionalism when addressing the key issues, I have unloaded paragraphs on him and he’s right with me the whole way, never a need to double explain and for that I will always stick with him

We are only two phone sessions in . But I have zero complaints so far. Work sheets mirror many of the things of journaled about solo. AJ does a really good job helping me work with on my outlook. Having a listening ear is a good look

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
