I'd a great time with Hayden François, who is a great active listener providing relevant guidance tailored to my needs. Being part of several marginalized communities, I felt Hayden François had that additional knowledge that many therapists usually don't have. Thanks!

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.

- 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 find Hayden is very easy to talk to and understanding, I feel he doesn't always tell you what you want to hear but tells you when you need to hear and really connects on a personal level to help you progress in yourself. I can not recommend him enough and will continue our sessions for the foreseeable.
