Michael has been so great to work with. I didn’t know what to expect with therapy for the first time, but he’s made the process welcoming and productive. He is very approachable and respectful, while still challenging and pushing me to improve my mental health and wellbeing in ways that have shown good results. I’m grateful for the experience working with him.

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.

I’ve been working with Mike for about a year and he is great. I was unsure at first working with a male therapist but he is extremely at his job and I feel like he has helped me cope with some of the trauma from my past but gave me techniques to deal with future situations and challenges. He always gives advice without judgement and he has helped me through so much. I went from having extreme panic attacks and depression and with the help of him and a diet/exercise change I have been able to take control of my mental health. I highly highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a therapist. He also is very accommodating with my schedule even though we are across the country.

Mike is great! Very down to earth with a remarkably disarming personality. His open approach and conversation style make it very easy to talk with him. I also find his method very useful: It's a "gathering data" through experience method which gets directly to the point. I appreciate that very much, and I recommend Mike quite highly.
