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.

Ken has been a fantastic counselor. He listens, asks questions, and makes fair points. Ken tries his best to make himself available as often as possible. Couldn't recommend him any more highly!
Very pleased with the help Ken has given me. He is a great listener and understands how to communicate in a way you know what he is talking about.
