Ken is an amazing listener and extremely insightful. After just two sessions, he helped me change the way I perceived several things that I feel were holding me back. I would recommend Ken to anyone. None of his advice was generic, but suited specifically for what I needed to grow. I’ll continue to work with Ken even if I feel things in my life are going great.

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.
