I am someone who has needed therapy long term. I have been seeing therapists for over a decade to help with severe ptsd, anxiety and depression. Of all of my therapists, right off the bat, Gene has been one of the most helpful. After just our first session, I went from feeling overwhelmed and hopeless, anxious, and self conscious, to strong, encouraged, confident, and validated. He helped me think clearly and deeply, he is great at helping keep conversations on track (I have a tendency to ramble and accidentally "waste" a session but Gene helped me stay focused) he didn't pry but made me feel confident opening up on my own. He made me feel heard. He helped me see I wasn't being ridiculous for being upset with conditions I was facing. I cried and laughed and realized I could go into the world and stand up for myself.

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.
