I didn’t think I was going to like having a male therapist especially for my first time seeing a therapist but I tried to keep an open mind and Matthew has done a great job making me feel comfortable and cared for. He always ends our session asking if I got what I needed from the session and if I need anything more from him and that is something I appreciate.

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.
