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.

Making the decision to speak to a therapist wasn't easy but I found it at a point to be very necessary. Then pairing up with someone caused some anxiety....will they be able to relate?...will they have the patience to listen?...alot goes through your mind. I truly believe that Christopher was a Godsend. He is wonderfully easy to talk to. His feedback on my thoughts provoked me to think even deeper. Which allowed me to think and develop a different mindset and perspective on my issues. Sometimes, that's all it takes. Its understandable everyone's situation is not the same. But if you decide to make that step and seek help my hope is you connect with a therapist like Christopher or Christopher himself. One last thing don't take your decision for therapy lightly it will probably be the best decision you've made for yourself and your well-being.
