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.

Dmitri is not a mechanical sterile therapist. He is an open minded, nonjudgmental human being. He combines his extensive knowledge with soft skills that are disarming and gentle. His interest in the patient is clearly genuine. He masters the skills of making one feel safe so that you can talk about what you thought would be unspeakable. He only accepts a limited amount of clients. Praise yourself lucky if you are on his list. He is a perfect mix of expertise, caring attitude and warm interpersonal skills.

Dmitri has been an amazing therapist to talk to. He helped me to discover vulnerability and how to navigate my feelings and emotions that I had pushed down for so long. He has provided me with so many resources that I can go back to if I’m struggling or if I need to remind myself about strategies to use. Very professional and always listens to what I’m saying while making it easy to open up.

Sessions with Dmitri were very pleasant. He has helped me understand myself better and be more confident in myself and who I am. My beliefs were challenged and as a result I've learned something new and reaffirmed some of my beliefs. I feel like I've figured out what I need to do going forward and I have Dmitri to thank for that.
