Mr Winch is professional, extremely intelligent, and incredibly caring. I was a patient of his a couple of years ago for a short time and due to financial stress I had to discontinue therapy. I recently signed up again and Mr Winch remembered me! He went out of his way to message me to welcome me back to therapy. I have been in therapy off and on for 30 years and I’ve seen many different therapists. I never felt so cared about before. I highly recommend Mr Winch.

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.

I couldn't be happier with the experience of working with Chad. He is a compassionate and understanding professional who truly listens and provides insightful guidance. He creates a safe and non-judgmental environment that allows me to feel comfortable opening up and working through my challenges. I have noticed a significant improvement in my mental health and overall well-being since starting therapy with Chad. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a therapist.

Reviewed February 2023

Before I joined therapy I often hesitated because I thought they were going to challenge absolutely everything you believe and turn you into a selfish self servin person. I couldn’t of been more wrong. Chad was patient with me and willing to talk about uncomfortable subjects with no judgement. He is very good at pointing out small areas in our thinking that distress us more then we realize and bringing us relief. He knows that life is often grey and that no one person holds all the answers so it was very opposite to what I thought therapy was going to be. But Chad was very helpful, a great listener and he was willing to put himself in your shoes.

Reviewed December 2022

Chad understands what I need out of a therapy session that is, to clear my "cache". He pays great attention to what I write and offers his thoughts and/or findings when I'm done. He catches on quickly to any quirks or patterns I show and goes with the flow. I've had a couple of eureka moments in the short time we've been interacting and I'm grateful for that
