I provide personalized Tele-Psychotherapy and Behavioral Health Coaching that is culturally sensitive and inclusive. I create an environment that is compassionate, accepting, and non-judgmental.

I generally check messages once or twice per day on Tuesday -Thursday and respond as quickly as I can. I do appreciate your patience when it takes a bit longer at times, as I may be tending to other patient or client professional responsibilities.

About online counseling

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.

Just a fantastic person who has helped me beyond words
Simply the best
Smart, kind, and a great listener.
So far, I have had a great experience with my therapist and BetterHelp! I have gotten further than I have with other therapist in just 3 sessions.
Dr Roux is kind and insightful. He has accompanied me during a period of extreme growth. I am grateful for his patience and understanding.
Dr Roux helped me go through my life so low that I ended my 8-year relationship while simultaneously having the biggest challenge in my business and the most demanding moment for my study. I rediscover myself, I see my weakness, and I also learn how I can improve. Most important, I know I need to love myself.
Dr Roux is extremely thoughtful and knowledgeable. He also checks in between sessions with insightful notes and encouragements. I’ve been seeing him for several months now and cannot recommend him enough!
Professional, friendly, Open minded listener, to-the-point and insightful advice, resourceful!
Let me begin by saying that I have struggled with anxiety and depression for well over a decade. I have seen several therapists, taken different medications, studied self help books, etc. While my past experiences have helped, I can confidently say that I have never experienced as much progress in a short period of time than with Dr. Roux. Jean helped me through a major life change in a truly invaluable way. He possesses the grace, patience, wisdom, and elegance to guide people through the most challenging events that life can throw at them. Dr. Roux nails the balance of listening and contributing during a conversation. He does not simply sit on the other end of a webcam and listen -- he chimes in and offers advice and tools to help you succeed now and in the future. I cannot thank Dr. Roux enough, nor can I give him high enough acclaim for his work. If you're considering therapy, Dr. Roux is an A+ choice. Thank you for everything!
I've only been on 3 sessions with Dr. Roux, and I already have a lot to process and understand about myself. He's giving me homework to do, to help me think and progress during the following week. I really appreciate my time with him.
Dr. Roux is a very kind and attentive therapist, he offers the perfect balance of listening and intervening when necessary. Dr Roux also sends encouraging messages during the week and reminds you of your therapy goals in order to keep an eye on your progress. I would highly recommend Dr Roux to anyone who has done through heartbreak, international moves, career choices or family relationship issues.
