More about Alfred

  • 18 years' experience
  • Male
  • LMFT

As a practical, interactive, and culturally sensitive Clinical Psychologist with a subspecialty in Marriage and Family Therapy, my treatment approach is to provide support and feedback through researched and evidenced-based interventions i.e. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, ACT, Mindfulness. Individuals and couples are welcome to my practice.

I draw on a variety of styles and techniques, blending conventional and alternative psychotherapy models, to incorporate what will be most helpful for each client. I work with each client to help them identify and build on their strengths, achieve resolve/clarity, and find balance in life. Therapy is a process. Thank you for the opportunity to work with you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
