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.

Dustin is insightful and attentive. I have only had positive experiences with him and look to continue.
Dustin has provided a very open space for me to express what's going on with me. He figures out fundamental questions to ask that really help me to figure out what I want, but also to really understand my situation better.
Dustin is very caring, and I think he tries hard to make the individual feel comfortable by relating and sharing your experiences. I appreciate that he reaches out to me. I never feel like a bother even when I write him extremely long paragraphs. He really listens.
