Recent reviews
Jack is a great listener. Jack is very pragmatic and creative. He has taken my huge and overwhelming problems and has broken them down into workable solutions or more manageable ways of thinking about the issues or baby steps towards improving the situations. Jack comes with many years of experience which I believe helps him very efficiently identify areas of immediate improvement. That’s great because you’re not wasting time and your feeling better and seeing hope.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Jack is thoughtful, understanding, and a great listener. I came to therapy without knowing much of anything about what I needed, and he helped create guidelines for me to find the tools and techniques I need to help myself.
