Max has been an incredible help in my recovery from porn addiction. He's very easy to talk to and has been extremely supportive. He proves his expertise in every session while still making it feel like a conversation between friends in a safe environment. What I've found helpful is that Max offers a strong level of support, but he also brings the type of necessary challenge that comes with recovery to ensure progress is being made. He's given me a sense of hope for the future while assisting in the development of a plan.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
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.
