I had one session with him but it was informative and learned some things I didnt know. He gave me some things to think about as well as research. I am glad for his insight.

I am licensed in Colorado with 19 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with coping with addictions, trauma and abuse, & anger management. I also have experience working with motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

While I have been of the Christian faith for over 30 years, I work very well with people of other faiths, or none.

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.

Reviewed April 2024

Duncan has been such a great support during a very difficult time. His patience and straight forward approach is definitely what I needed. His recommendations are helping me gain a better understanding of my behaviors and reactions to certain situations and individuals. I appreciate that he is helping me step back into my Faith, reminding me that I am loved, regardless of my mistakes. Finding a Christian therapist was a barrier in my past search for help. Thanks BetterHelp and Duncan Shaw.
