Dr. Bunch is very experienced and was able to meet me where I was mentally from the first session. Her fundamental approach was extremely helpful in allowing me to understand my worldview and state of mind a bit better. She was good at getting to the source of my thoughts and worries and was patient with me as I began to peel back the layers of why I felt the way I did. I highly recommend her.

Who do you go to when life hurts? What do you do when problems arise? Where do you go when the stigma of traditional counseling is not an option? I am here to assist you with online counseling. I counsel individuals, couples, and families. I have been in private practice since September, 1999. I have been a board Certified TeleMental Health counselor since 2014. I believe that each of us have the ability to heal our hurts through forgiveness and the mending our broken hearts. Some of the issues that I work with are substance abuse, depression, forgiveness, anger, relationship issues, sexual assault, domestic violence, PTSD and career choices.
I guess I'm considered a generalist although I'm trained in domestic violence, sexual assault, substance abuse and career counseling. When we look at those areas in our lives, many issues arise such as depression, anxiety, relationships, communication, anger, divorce and others.
I believe that God has called me to heal the broken hearts so that we can live again. I believe that there is value in each of you and sometimes we can't see our self worth because of our pain.

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.

I have found Dr. Bunch to be most helpful in this journey of recovery offering suggestions for healing.
Dr. Bunch is thoughtful. She sees both the big picture and small details, and helps you realize your goals. Talking things through with her brings the clarity and calm I was craving when I signed up for a therapist. She has concrete tools that help you make up your mind and Form decisions.
She is so good! I appreciate her a lot and I would totally recommend her to anyone that is looking for help.
Dr. Bunch is honest and straightforward but in the kindest most empathetic way. She doesn’t tell you things, she asks you... I like this because it really forces you to examine yourself and be honest with yourself. I always finish the session feeling so much lighter and free. I also love that after each session she gives “homework” to work on the things discussed during each session and she always checks in during the week to make sure you’re keeping up with it. The constant communication and check ins as well as her remembering all the things you tell her from session to session really make me feel cared for.
Dr. Bunch is very knowledgeable and employs many techniques. But she is not stagnant: she is always learning and bringing in new ideas. She is very kind and supportive while being direct and to the point. She is not about beating around the bush and is great at identifying root issues and targeting those during sessions.
Dr Bunch is highly professional and willing to listen and to help you with your needs. Many thanks Dan from the UK
So far I have been in session twice and already feel the positive feedback of taking the first step into seeking help.I feel safe and confident that Dr. Bunch is able to help me with and understand my challenges as the individual that I am.
