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.

He's good
The best
Eugene is a godsend. I look for a therapist for almost 3 years and tried hard to find one that would work good for me & was an expert in the places i needed them to be and never found one. I was blessed to find him. He has all the expertise in the areas I need to be a top notch therapist. He is kinda caring & patient, professional, friendly, cool, fun to talk to, super understanding, super helpful, and also isn't afraid to challenge me to be better in a healthy way. He has already been so helpful & guided me through handling my darkness. I literally could not ask for a better therapist than Eugene.
Great!
Eugene is direct and clinical with his approach to my case. I highly appreciate his wisdom, guidance and heart to heart connection. He has been vital to my mental health.
He has been understanding and has help me a lot!
Has lots of willingness to help and its not afraid to be honest with his approach. Likes to hit the ground running and trying be better and find more mental clarity
Get helpful and lots of perspective
Eugene has deep faith and trust in the Lord, a compassionate heart that genuinely cares, a discerning spirit, keen insight into issues and how to manage them, and an innate ability to engage someone in difficult conversations without judgment. His patience, active listening, timely words, kind/respectful manner build trust. His knowledge of scripture and its application in real life affirms that he lives out his faith in his own life. His authenticity and sincerity give credibility to his work. I am grateful for Eugene’s role in helping me on my journey to wellness.
Very kind and understanding. Has a very helpful perspective on many different issues
I really felt that Mr Yamamoto listened to me and tried to navigate the complicated mess I was throwing at him. His insights and advice were well taken.
