Chris E. is amazing!!! He listens to what I have to say but more importantly, he reads my energy. We have serious talks, and less serious talks, based off of the aura I’m giving off. Which I value very much. But no matter what, I leave each session with self reflection and that talking to my therapist (Chris) has a powerful impact!

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.

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.

Could not be happier with Chris! I'm a big believer in the value of CBT and really value his skills and support as my therapist
Amazing
Exactly what I am looking for in a therapist. Highly knowledgeable and still able to communicate high-tier knowledge to me as a patient while i have much less knowledge about human thoughts and tendencies.
He makes me feel very comfortable talking with him
He is amazing and great to talk to
