Chris E. is amazing!!! He listens to what I have to say but more importantly, he reads my energy. We have serious talks, and less serious talks, based off of the aura I’m giving off. Which I value very much. But no matter what, I leave each session with self reflection and that talking to my therapist (Chris) has a powerful impact!

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.

Exactly what I am looking for in a therapist. Highly knowledgeable and still able to communicate high-tier knowledge to me as a patient while i have much less knowledge about human thoughts and tendencies.
