About online counseling

Affordable.

There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

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.

Dr. Torok was short of amazing. I have gone through a handful of therapists (all in person) and none of them compare to Dr. Torok.

Dr. Torok I appreciate everything you did for me. Even if it was a short time, you showed me what it’s like to receive real therapy. Because of you, I believe that there are therapists out there that really love what they do.. :) Ps to reader: I know online therapy can sound like it’s probably not for you but coming from someone who thought this, I suggest you give it a shot.
