Hello,
I have organized INFORMATIONAL RESOURCES on various online platforms based on a topic of interest, a common need, or related to various lessons, challenges, and experiences during a lifetime.
I also manage a YouTube channel for access by clients - "journey associates" with a red sunset background. The content is not my own, but a collection from various sources related to the mind for you to find.
Go to the Playlist tab, the tap "View ALL" to look around at the many folders and thousands of links.
These resources can be found at - https://www.youtube...

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Great so far. Very helpful.
He is a very good listener. I enjoy our sessions. He is very down to earth.
Responds to messages in a timely manner. Also listens intently and has many different ways to try and get you through whatever situation you are going through at the time.
William Perks is organized and thorough, yet compassionate. He also has a sense of humor which is a welcome element of therapy.
Will is a great therapist, he listens carefully, articulates his thought enough for you to understand, and talks from both life and fatherly figure. I recommend him to anyone.
Having a great time! I’ve learned so much about myself and the world. And there have only been 3 sessions!
William Perks is a terrific empathetic and skilled counselor. I highly recommend his services!
William is thoughtful, considerate, and never assumes what I'm going to say. He allows me to explain my situation completely and reflects on what I say before offering advice. His depth of knowledge is refreshing and his professional demeanor makes me feel confident in my care.
10/10
William is a great therapist. He understands how to make you comfortable talking about uncomfortable things. I had true anxiety about getting therapy but William makes the process easy. I’m glad our paths have crossed!
Will is truly understanding and he listens.
Very helpful and insightful. Has a process, yet remains flexible. I would absolutely recommend Will.
he’s a well around guy, i look forward to meeting with him weekly. he’s very well spoken and understands things about me that nobody else does.
Mr. Perks is a very knowledgeable man who knows what he is talking about and how to talk to individuals while getting those individuals to open up and relate in ways I did not think possible.
I’m in my first few sessions with Will. So far the resources & availability have been wonderful. He’s attentive, timely & knowledgeable.
I love the fact that William listens.. (I talk a lot)... He gives me advice on what tools that I can use to help with my splits when I just get fixated on something he's a good doctor
Will has been attentive and effective in helping me deal with work stress and generalized anxiety. He is able to recommend behavioral techniques and sources of information pertinent to my needs.
He has helped me through some very tough times. Very respectful to my concerns and a good sense of humor. Highly recommend!
I am very thankful to be matched with this therapist.
