Dr Goddard is by far the best therapist I’ve ever had. I truly can’t say enough great things about him. He strikes such a good balance between being supportive and challenging. He is so attentive and focused. His memory of everything we’ve spoken about over a long period of time is really impressive. He makes a big effort to be accommodating and make sure I have the ability to find a time slot that works for me. He’s incredibly intelligent and well read, always referencing relevant examples, thinkers, stories and personal anecdotes that are often super relevant and accommodating. He’s been an amazing source of support and strength for me and I truly feel very fortunate to have him as a therapist. Thank you Dr. Goddard!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I don’t feel pressured, I feel lead in the direction that will help achieve my goals. The way Paul ensures that I’m built up while tackling sensitive challenges gives confidence and comfort like a leader and a mentor would.
Dr. Goddard has without a doubt been the best therapist I have had the privilege to work with. His years of experience show in our sessions, and he is very kind and understanding.
I'm very impressed I am very happy the way he cares and listens and gives me good ways to deal with my anxiety and stress I feel he cares it's only been a couple of weeks but I'm very happy to have him in my life thank you
he meets me at my level and understands my logician point of views, while simultaneously showing me how to inject emotionality into my life
Very helpful and compassionate
I have only had a few sessions with Paul but am appreciative of his ability to listen and offer sensible feedback, doing small check ins, and truly thoughtful advice.
