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.

I would highly recommend Dr. Kurth. He is very supportive and checks up on me regularly which I very much appreciate.
In just a few short sessions I was able to work through some very painful problems and truly receive some peace of mind and new perspectives. Dr Josh is the best and wish I found him sooner!
I just started working with Dr. Kurth and i'm already digging deeper into things compared to my last therapists. Dr. Kurth asks me questions and really makes me think about things opposed to just letting me talk the entire time. I'm excited and confident that we will be able to uncover the actual WHY behind what causes the issues i'm having. I also feel extremely comfortable being open with Dr. Kurth which is HUGE!
Dr. Kurth is very helpful and knows how to listen. He gives you insights and works with you to get you where you wanna be.
