More about Kurt

  • 12 years' experience
  • Male
  • LCSW

I will always strive to provide an open listening environment, showing compassion and encouragement through out our work together. I have quite a varied provider experience that I hope may enhance my work with you.

I started my therapy career holding anger mgt. and domestic violence groups for both men and women under the auspices of a local county government. This led to my working with both abused women and children on a personal basis. I have worked with veterans issues, family and relational issues and the LGBQ community. I feel confident I can help my clients overcome depression,, anxiety and panic challenges.

About online counseling

Affordable.

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.
