Mr. Young has truly been the first therapist to give me practical tools to use every single session. In fact, he’s the first to give me tools period. And they all work. He adapts them to my life and my way of thinking.. He listens to me. He makes me feel like at least one person cares about me. And that I can tell him anything without judgment. Just wonderful, fantastic, everything I need. I just can’t thank him enough.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Ken is the real deal.
Kenneth is outstanding. He listens, analyzes, and then communicates extremely well. He and I have talked through a lot in a short amount of time and I have found a lot of clarity and resolution in our conversations.
Ken is thoughtful and empathetic. He really takes the time to sort through what I’m feeling and how to take steps for positive growth.
Kenneth is kind, supportive, and thoughtful. He gives useful advice and is an excellent partner in my mental health journey.
Ken engages with me by listening to what I have going on and then incorporates that into my specific needs for therapy. He makes me feel safe to express myself and ask questions so I can explore when I am stuck or curious.
Ken seems to be very knowledgeable, very comforting.He does not judge.He does not make me feel inferior, he actually listens to what I have to say and helps me interpret what's going on. I would highly recommend him. He seems like a very intelligent man and i'm definitely glad I was paired with him.
Kenneth is attentive and responds to my expressed needs.
I decided to give therapy a chance again after a very bad "termination" experience with a former therapist (not through BetterHelp). I waited two years in between, allowing myself both time to heal as well as build confidence in my ability to hold on to a baseline level of mental health, with or without therapy. I trusted BetterHelp's matching process, as I didn't feel like I had a lot invested this time around. However, Ken has turned out to be a pleasant surprise, and I'm finding working with him quite rewarding, productive, and effective. I do feel as though I'm growing more quickly than I would've without his help. He helps me set goals that are conducive to positive long-term change. What I think he does particularly well is strike that delicate balance between holding me accountable vs. not making me feel pressured. He's not pushing/rushing me to change, but instead causing me to feel innately motivated.
Ken has been an excellent therapist to me. He is a wonderful listener, and can be honest with me about the things I need to hear. I would definitely recommend him!
Kenneth has been wonderful to work with!
Kenneth is an excellent, supportive listener. He understands limitations of his role and is an expert in available resources. I would recommend him as a counselor without hesitation.
