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.

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.
