Working with a therapist requires a strong level of trust. Trust develops over time when working with a therapist. Rodney worked to gain my trust, supports me, and I expect him to call me out if he thinks I'm not being honest with myself during our sessions together. I appreciate his honesty, experience, and guidance. I would happily recommend Rodney, but stay out of my session timeslot please!

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.

Great therapist
Carter is very professional, knowledgable, caring and compassionate with me during our sessions, so I can safely say he is the same with all of his clients. He knows when to listen, interject, and inject humour into situations accordingly, and I am very happy with my level of care that I’ve received. I would recommend him to anyone without a second thought.
