The best I've ever experience so far.

Reviewed November 2024

Dr. Boateng has been very professional and made insightful connections between my multiple concerns and has helped me view things from multiple perspectives that help me understand and think through my current challenges better. I appreciate the fact that he is a Christian and is able to relate with me on that level as well.

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.

So comfortable to talk to

Reviewed August 2024

After three sessions, I have the sense Allen is a consummate professional and one who is capable of delving into deep topics, without fear and with good focus and keeping it comfortable but capable.

Reviewed August 2024

Dr. Allen is honestly the best person to talk to about anything going on in your life. He's super supportive and non-judgmental, and even though that's what you'd expect, I haven't found anyone I could relate to as well as him before. Right from the first session, I felt comfortable sharing stuff about my life, which was a huge relief. Sometimes, when I feel overwhelmed, having someone like him to talk to has been amazing because at first I would struggle finding who to run to with my stress. Over the past four months, I have felt more heard than I have ever been in most of my adult life. Dr. Allen doesn't just listen; he gives me real life advice to help me handle my challenges better. I don't feel like I'm talking to a robot in a chair or someone who is just paid to be there, I truly believe he is Godsent. He is consistently supportive and genuinely cares, which makes me feel understood, seen and valued. He is definitely someone to talk to! !

I am extremely lucky to have Allen as my therapist. It has been a wonderful experience and I look forward to continuing growth and learning from our sessions and my homework

Reviewed May 2024

Allen is not only a wonderful therapist but a human being. He seems me not as a patient but rather a person and refuses to diagnose and pioneer to a conclusion as he gently leads me to my own conclusions. He does not impose but really listens and provides insightful views as opposed to autonomous conclusions. I would highly recommend having an Allen in your life as he is an admirable master in his profession.
