From our first session there was a strong understanding of what I am dealing with. He immediately started working with me on ways to improve and regain confidence in myself.

Aug 2024

Elrick is great at listening and connecting the dots and then sharing his own experiences and stories that directly relate to yours. He is more than willing to put in the extra work to help his patience and approaches counselling in a very direct, realistic, but kind way. His sense of humour and ability to laugh is refreshing and helps to lighten the mood.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Dr. Elrick is very helpful and understanding

Apr 2024

Elrick is a wise and compassionate individual. He has a unique ability to express his perspective in ways that even a best friend might not. He has helped me understand so much about my own psyche. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a therapist, especially with a similar background to me.

Great guy and excellent listener

Apr 2024

Polite and professional

Jan 2024

I've spoken to Elrivk twice do far and have had great results both times. He's really good and bringing things into perspective and stopping a ruminating spiral. I love his real world examples and sense of humor.

Jan 2024

Thanks Elrick for everything you have done, it was a pleasure to work with you!

Apr 2023

Elrick is a kind and compassionate individual. But is not afraid to tell you how it is either. He is comforting when he needs to be and assertive when he needs to correct your thinking. He has strong conviction when it comes to Christian morals and principles in guiding his therapy sessions, but I would recommend him even if you are not Christian as well.

May 2023

Our sessions have helped me become a better person, a better and more productive human. I find myself very optimistic towards life, I’m now better at handling pressure, stress and I’m doing better in my studies. I would highly recommend Elrick Nelson and have him as my therapist much longer.
