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 March 2019

Dr. Gordon fosters a safe environment for me to freely express myself without judgement. Even when he's objective and encouraging me to analyze different perspectives, I never feel as though he doesn't have my best interest in mind. Dr. Gordon's warm personality and psychological knowledge makes talking to him feel like the home-boy who happens to be a therapist. I'm very appreciative of how much he's helped me grow and how he's help me navigate some tough moments in the 15 months he's been counseling me. Plus, he offers spiritual guidance, which was imperative in my search for the right therapist.

I think even Merriam Webster fails in providing accurate diction to describe my experience with Dr. Gordon. During these past 9 months, he has challenged my comfort zone and encouraged me to broaden my perspectives. If you declare a desire for change, you must be ready to do the work required to grow. Dr. Gordon has a meticulously subtle way of challenging your thoughts without judgement or shame. Between sessions, he checks in to see how I'm doing. Our sessions feel less like therapy and more like casual conversation, which helps me process our discussions.

Talking to Dr. Gordon feels like I'm talking to a licensed friend. I'm not afraid to be vulnerable. Sometimes I roll my eyes, but that's when I know he's helping me overcome my habits.

Dr Gordon is a highly skilled therapist. I have benefited significantly from his insight, knowledge and wisdom. I reached out to him at one of the lowest points in my life and immediately while interacting with him I felt hope return to me. Since then, my life has been changing for the better and I am now looking forward to a brilliant future. Thank you Dr Gordon. This is truly your calling.

Exceptional support from Dr. Gordon over the past 6 months. I have never experienced this level of compassion, wise counsel and tailored support in my almost 40 years’ of existence. Although inner work is challenging, exploring my past with Dr. Gordon, acting on what I am learning about myself and making strides to intentionally heal have been the highlight of my weeks. Dr. Gordon has made this whole experience fulfilling and I will always be grateful. This has been my best investment yet. I highly recommend Dr Gordon!

Dr. Gordon has been a breath of fresh insight. He has excellent counselling skills and is well versed. He has encouraged me, challenged me and empowered me. I decided to get counselling to move past a failed relationship but I am pleasantly surprised by how much more I am getting out of this experience. My only regret is not reaching out sooner. I would highly recommend Dr. Gordon to others. I am starting to dream and feel alive again!

Dr. Gordon has been very helpful so far - I came to counseling for help with anxiety and coping skills, and the counseling is heading into areas I wasn't even initially focused on (but is definitely needed). I feel listened to, heard, and am getting actionable steps I can take to help myself (as well as some insight I wasn't aware I needed). Grateful for it!

After working with Dr. Gordon for (on-and-off) over a year now, I can say whole heartedly say that this man has changed my life’s trajectory completely. Without Dr. Gordon’s ongoing support and guidance I would not be in such a good position, as I am now. I would recommend Dr. Gordon to anyone considering counselling, he’s extremely approachable, extremely easy to talk to and very personable... to be honest, the man’s a wizard!

If you have been paired up with him, trust me: it’s a blessing! Do not hesitate to start this journey as for me the only thing I regret was to had waited so long! Some things can be temporary others can require more time but what you should know is that for as song as it will take, Dr. Gordon will be by your side as the best therapist you could ever wish for!

Dr. Gordon is amazing. He tells like it is, but he respects your emotions, beliefs, morals, etc. He allows you to talk things out, even allows you to interrupt if necessary and gets to the root of the problem. He gives you advice and 'assignments' to help with your issues and encourages open communication which I really appreciate. I've been working with him for about four months and even though I still have ways to go, he's helped me to identify my insecurities, along with getting a better view of myself and my identity and letting go of my traumatic past.

Reviewed November 2020

Dr, Gordon is incredibly empathetic and approachable. He not only listens but provides meaningful and helpful exercises which offer me continued help outside of our sessions as well giving me deeper insight into the issues through which I am working.
