After one year of therapy I can say I am very happy with my therapist and with the way I see myself coping with life. When compared to the feelings and thoughts I had when started, I now see a lot of improvement in my everyday life and I am grateful. I don't believe in chance. My therapist has been the right person at the right time, with his professionality, experience and good manners.

I was really nervous starting therapy after so many years, but Russ has been nothing short of a great listener and very supportive and helpful for me. If I would’ve known how comfortable it really is talking to somebody like him, I would’ve done this years ago!

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.
