David is a fantastic therapist. From the first session we had a connection. David helped me realize things about myself that I was unaware of and gave me tools to deal with/work through those issues. David is very knowledgeable and personable and is never pushy or prying. I've been telling my wife since day 1 how much I enjoy talking to David and I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a friendly face to talk to

Hello, my name is Dave Tymchyn. I was a returning student in my 30's when I obtained my master’s degree in Social Work at the University at Albany with honors and have obtained and maintained my LCSW for the last 20 years. Over the years I have worked in many areas of human services including working with couples, families and individuals. I have spent a portion of my career working with people with substance use disorders and their families. When working together, I believe in meeting you where you are at, and finding out what you want to accomplish. I believe that mutual respect between myself and you is essential. The goal is to empower you with knowledge and understanding of yourself and how your situations have affected you. There is nothing more fulfilling in this field than to see people’s lives enhanced by overcoming the obstacles that hold them back. I have a history of being devoted to the individuals I care for and I look forward to working with you.

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.

So helpful!
Mr David is amazing. He brings tears of experience to help me through situations I’m going through, and to help me work towards the person I want to be. While helping me realize how great I am now. He is an amazing human being and great at communicating.
I have only met with David a few times and as my first time in therapist, i couldn't recommend the experience and him enough. Absolutely one of the kindest people and super helpful and real when you need it. Love him!!!
Good guy
A therapist with years of experience that is helping me in many areas of my life. Very grateful for our weekly meetings. I look forward to them and I am very proud of the progress I’ve made with his help
Mr David is an extremely experienced therapist, the worksheets he provided me really helped me cope with my negative belief, anxiety and motivation. The sessions have been very effective compared to therapy I have received in my own country. Big thank you to Mr David :D
David is a superb counsellor who is helping me a lot!
