Recent reviews
I've worked with a few therapists over the years (my own and my child's), and Kevin has been the most helpful. He's warm, easy to feel comfortable with, listens attentively, and when I've asked for advice he's always had clear, thoughtful,, realistic, useful things to say. I trust his judgement, and I appreciate his kindness and being so present and conscientious.

Hello and thanks for stopping by to read about me! My name is Kevin, and I an a Licensed Independent Social Worker. I have over 25 years (where does the time go) experience helping individuals and families through all types of challenges and situations. I have worked in many different settings, including private practice and community mental health settings and college classrooms. I have been told I am easy to talk to: I also understand that every person has their own comfort level and preferences when seeking professional help. I generally implement a very laid-back style and rarely tell people what they SHOULD do. I try to focus on what people CAN do and offer options and let people decide for themselves what is best. I think therapy is like putting together a puzzle: you organize the pieces and then slowly put together the picture of what you want your life to look like. If you think I can help you sort things out, feel free to reach out. Thank you.

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.

Good guy great listener, great advisor.
I've worked with a few therapists over the years (my own and my child's), and Kevin has been the most helpful. He's warm, easy to feel comfortable with, listens attentively, and when I've asked for advice he's always had clear, thoughtful,, realistic, useful things to say. I trust his judgement, and I appreciate his kindness and being so present and conscientious.
While I only have spoken to Kevin once, he was a great amount of assistance in a time of significant crisis for me.
He is awesome
Kevin is a nice balance of knowledgeable and approachable - "real." He's engaging (vs. a passive listener), and brings a broader world view that's really nice to have. He seems like a genuine, compassionate person with valuable insights, and is good at sharing them. I felt comfortable with him right away.
Kevin is a very personable therapist who talks with you at your level. I thoroughly enjoyed my time working with him and felt heard which allowed me to process some low times and decision making struggles. He is very open and kind. You would be well-served working with a caring person such as him.
Have tried many different therapists and Kevin has been the perfect fit for my wife and I. Very personable, understanding, and takes that extra time to make sure you have a plan that helps your specific needs. I very highly recommend him!
