Dr. Nichols is amazing. I love him so much that I truly wish he was one of my family members. He feels such a void in my heart for the longing that I’ve had for such a long time for a father figure for my life. God bless him and his family. And what an asset he is to this program. Thanks so much in advance for the opportunity.

I do not believe in coincidence. I lost my father in 2008, I have struggled with so much since his passing because he isn't here to talk to -- and Dr. Nichols gave me looks just like Dad used to. It was like he was channeling my dad. I felt comfortable speaking with him, I just need to figure out how to find my own voice and not be ashamed of my thoughts so I can speak clearly and not sugar my fears and anxiety- I have hope and I have only spoken to him once. I might be hard but to crack, but at least now I know I can open up.

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.
