Recent reviews
Dr. Dinkins has been a tremendous help to me. I never thought I’d see a psychiatrist, and was a bit skeptical of treatment (from anyone) and reticent prior to reaching out. I’m glad to say that I couldn’t have been more wrong about my concerns; Dr. Dinkins is kind, thoughtful, compassionate, supportive, and encouraging. I would recommend him to anyone that is considering reaching out.

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.

Dr. Dinkins has been wonderful so far. Very knowledgeable and understanding. He helps with real examples to understand the concepts and provides material to go through that makes it much easier. He also gives exercise to utilize in helping with my current situation. All in all very satisfied so far
Upon the first session, Dr. Dinkins instantly "got me" and called out what I was struggling with before I even knew. He provided me exercises and guidelines to help me develop the toolset I need to accomplish my goals now, and moving forward. I'm excited about the "new me" which will emerge with the toolset he is helping me develop. Dr. Dinkins has a very calm and open nature making him easy to talk to and put me at ease. Each session is insightful and productive. Thank you Dr. Dinkins!
Ever since my first meeting with Dr Dinkins I’ve felt understood and heard. I’ve only been in therapy for a couple of weeks but I feel hopeful of what’s to come.
The short amount been working with Dr. Dinkens. I’ve noticed that he’s very quick to listen to everything before speaking. I appreciate that I’m able to get everything out and be heard 100%. I feel like in the past almost 3 weeks, I have grown so much. Thank you for your time Dr. Dinkins.
