About online counseling

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.

I enjoy the new prospective and the ability to tell it as it is and not have a biased opinion

Dec 2022

Very professional and experienced. Very kind and understanding. Knowledgeable on how to deal and manage stress, anxiety, grief, and depression. I’ve been with him for 3-4 sessions and he checks in between sessions. I currently have no need for therapy at the moment because he has helped reached where I wanted be. He has taught me a lot in from those sessions. Honestly, I needed someone professional to talk to and I was glad Michael was that person who was there to hear my story. If I were to come back, I would gladly have Michael back as my therapist.

Dec 2022
