Dennis is an experienced, strong, trustworthy, and structured therapist. I am wary about therapy after multiple bad experiences, but after three or four sessions with Dennis, I am carefully optimistic about being able to get better at some point. Key factors for me are that he remembers what I've told him and he helps me express myself and be accountable of my healing by asking me, for example, if he understood me right and if I am ready for a change in my thinking (or whether that would be too fast).

Dennis has been a great help with assisting me over the last month or so with some very challenging life circumstances. His strong faith in Christ and biblical knowledge was a great help for my particular challenges. Non judgmental and very supportive throughout all the sessions, genuinely cares and wants the best for you. I would highly recommend Dennis. He's a great man of God.

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.

A wonderful man of God and a blessing to me. Dennis did not judge me but had compassion and care. I highly recommend him. God bless him.

Dennis was a great counsellor, through and through. He was affable and intelligent in his advise to me, and I felt in good hands throughout the course of the therapy. Each session brought with concrete advise and in some cases even solutions to issues in my life. Dennis helped me gain a better insight in my current and former relationships as well as tools to abate future issues and just improve my mental health in general. Dennis maintained a professional yet kind and non-judgemental demeanour, and our sessions were always Christ-centred and it was great for me to have a counsellor who understood the importance of my relationship to God and actively utilised it in my therapy. After only few sessions I felt much more secure in my ability to both understand and tackle the problems that prompted me to seek out counselling to begin with. I thank Dennis for his aid – it really helped me.
