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.

Dr. P has been a great support for me in my life. I feel heard without judgement seeing him, and he provides practical, tangible support mechanisms for me to improve. His style keeps me motivated to continue therapy.
Si.ply the best I have ever had the pleasure of working with.
When starting therapy, I never imagined it will really help me face my struggles and confront issues, anxiety, people around me, fears, work-life balance. I feel better about myself and for once am willing to make changes in the areas that interest me. Can certainly say I'm more confident, got useful tips to relax my mind and live life the way I want to. None of this would've happened without the expertise of Dr. Philadelphia, always patient and prepared with a variety of techniques to work on my issues when it comes to anxiety, family, stress, love life and self esteem. Will continue working as I'm very proud of the changes made and how I feel compared to how I felt before starting therapy.
Anthony is such a great person. Discussions are always smooth and he put me at ease from our first session. He listens carefully and secures you in a way to understand that you have the proper and you can overcome it all. Helpful, punctual and have great expertise to make sure you get to where you want to go. A definite recommend!
My first time doing therapy, and it wasn't intimidating at all! Dr. Philadelphia makes therapy seem like you're talking to a good friend. He's very attentive and helpful, while at the same time making me feel comfortable enough to share everything with him. I'm grateful to have had him as my therapist!

Anthony brings enormous experience in working with trauma, and a kindly, warm, humorous approach. I've felt heard by him; I feel he is prepared for sessions, often reflects back to things I've said in previous sessions, and I feel confident in his expertise. He has been gently challenging when I've needed that, and endlessly supportive.
Dr. Philadelphia has been extremely easy to work with and is the most knowledgeable and supportive therapist I have ever come across. He is able to assess situations very well and shares valuable knowledge efficiently based on your circumstance.
