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.

Berekat truly listens and has an exceptional ability to parse together any issues that may seem like a complex continuum that his client may be dealing with. And that is very important, to have in a therapist. I am moved to say that he is a very talented one!

After a brief course of therapy a few years ago I was hesitant to try it again. I’m so glad I did as Berekat has been such an amazing counsellor. After 2 months of sessions with Berekat he is always attentive, patient and a great listener who helps guide me to look at things from a different perspective. I appreciate his guidance and would highly recommend him to others.

In the few sessions that I've had with Berekat so far, he's been able to help me change my thought patterns. It's refreshing to have someone who can actually take the garbled thoughts thrown at him and turn them into an actual problem that can be molded and addressed. Thanks Berekat!
