I specialize in trauma resolution as well as alcohol and drug use treatment services that are informed by my own personal life experience and professional training.

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 2021

I have been hesitant to sign up for therapy but I am so happy I did and get assigned Dion as a counselor. I can come into a session feeling down and leave feeling much better, and with a smile on my face. Dion is great at pulling from personal experience as an example and it is comforting that I have someone who has had similar experiences to confide in. His suggestions of mindfulness and mediation have also been helpful in my mental health journey, and he has suggested great online resources to follow.
