Steve has been my angel for the whole time i was with him. He has made me feel seen, heard & safe. I felt like all my doubts & worries fade away with his help. He is innovative, observant, kind, & an incredible human being. He knew exactly what i needed and knew how to teach me to keep going in my healing process. Thank you for all you have done for me, for all you have taught me to cope with life. You are amazing.

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.

Reviewed November 2021

I am not new to therapy, and I can honestly say I have never had a better therapist than Steve. He is able to ascertain client's wants and needs (sometimes without the client even being aware that these existed!) and develops a personalized and effective path towards growth, healing, health and inner peace. I am so thankful to have found Steve and I would highly recommend him!

Reviewed November 2021

Steve is honestly the best therapist I've ever had, and I've seen a few. He's very understanding and can give insights into any issue and helps me see things so much more clearly, without anxiety or anything clouding my head. He's genuinely caring and compassionate and I'm very glad I was matched with him. I'm looking forward to working through things more with him because I noticed a difference from the first couple of sessions. I can't recommend him enough.

Reviewed September 2021

Steve is great. In addition to being very caring, respectful, and thoughtful, he brings many useful observations, frameworks, and insights to his counseling. I would definitely recommend Steve!

Reviewed September 2021

Steve is the best counselor I have worked with. He has creative and unique ways to engage and keep things moving in a positive direction. After a couple sessions it is easy to see why he is highly rated. It feels like I’m chatting with a friend who genuinely cares and happens to have awesome advice that’s backed with a thoughtful explanation of why he thinks it could help. It’s great that his is familiar with 12 step programs and the resistance some people in recovery can have towards those programs. He always seems prepared, present and engaging

Reviewed September 2021

Steve has incredible insight. He either has tons of experience or natural intuition or both because he seemed to understand me very well in a very short amount of time. Looking forward to future sessions

He possesses the clinical wherewithal to meet my needs in both stress management, trauma therapy, Addiction counseling as well as has offered a supportive non judge mental atmosphere with a christian lense that quite literally fits perfectly with my most hopeful ideals as pertains to What I imagined I could recieve from counseling and therapy in general. I highly recommend this counsler for anyone looking to find absolute support sans judgement and pretense.
