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 brilliant, caring a great listener with a huge heart
David is expertly trained to listen and he's compassionate. He's supported and helped me navigate some difficult situations. Would recommend.
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

Funny Wise Cheerful Clever Great experience
