Working with John has been so helpful for me! He offers plenty of space for me to hear myself and provides ways for me to reframe my thinking. I really benefit from the statements he gives me to reflect on each week. I’ve had a great experience working with him so far!

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.

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.

Working with John has been so helpful for me! He offers plenty of space for me to hear myself and provides ways for me to reframe my thinking. I really benefit from the statements he gives me to reflect on each week. I’ve had a great experience working with him so far!
John is insightful yet attentive. There have been so many times where he says something that perfectly addresses an emotion or a situation I’ve been going through. His relationship is also evident in the way that he weaves scripture into his therapy and tools / methodologies he recommends for dealing with life’s issues.
