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.

David is a friendly, professional and adept therapist. Our sessions have help me see myself for who I am, as well as giving me important space to discuss my feelings.

David is a great therapist having struggled in the past to talk to people about my past life experiences, I find it easy to open up to david. I enjoy my sessions with him and each time i feel like i have less weight and anger on my shoulders. I needed to do this years ago, but there is a reason I believe that i chose to start now so i can turn my life around. Thanks David
