Max has been an incredible help in my recovery from porn addiction. He's very easy to talk to and has been extremely supportive. He proves his expertise in every session while still making it feel like a conversation between friends in a safe environment. What I've found helpful is that Max offers a strong level of support, but he also brings the type of necessary challenge that comes with recovery to ensure progress is being made. He's given me a sense of hope for the future while assisting in the development of a plan.

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.
