I have struggled with my sexuality and being able to be open about it in my relationships in the past. Jonathan has helped me to feel more confident about who I am and has helped me see myself in a different way. I would highly recommend him!

Jonathan is a wonderful therapist. We hit it off right from the start and that was important for me as I really felt like I was at a very low point in my life. From the first meeting he instantly made me feel comfortable and allowed me to speak openly and freely about my problems and truly express how I was feeling lately. Not only did he listen, but he gave me great tips for handling my stress and panic attacks and has continued to give me advice that has helped me tremendously over the last few weeks since I started BetterHelp. I couldn’t be more grateful to be paired with Jonathan and I plan to continue meeting with him weekly for the foreseeable future.

About online counseling

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.
