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.

I’ve had a few therapists over the years but Emmanuel is by far the best I’ve had. He's a great listener. Lots of empathy and understanding. Takes great notes and summarizes well. Also, he really pushes me, in a positive way, to go deeper. If you want a superficial therapist, he’s not the one. But if you truly want to go deeper and want to feel like you are constantly doing “the work” then I highly recommend him.

Emmanuel is a fantastic therapist! He really helped me through a difficult season with the relationships in my life. His cultural understanding, empathy, and being able to hold me accountable for how I’m showing up and thinking about a situation really helped me get through some turbulent family situations and unique experiences in my relationship. As a man (especially someone who comes from a strong cultural background) selecting Emmanuel for a therapist will be one of the best things you can do. He is highly skilled at helping you reframe your thinking, see things with a fresh lens, and brings a compassionate and wise encouragement of the things you’re doing well and opportunities for growth that you should be mindful of and he makes sure with his check-ins that you’re progressing in that area. Highly, highly recommend this therapist!

Emmanuel is intelligent, kind, and extremely thoughtful. His wisdom, processing, ad communication skills are one of a kind. I specifically sought therapy to discuss a relationship.
