Alan has been incredibly helpful with improving my stress management coping mechanisms, and overall anxiety. He has been very compassionate, understanding, and solution-oriented without being pushy, so it has been a great experience. I’ve seen a huge difference in how I manage stressful situations and I’m now able to think of positive things (instead of spiraling into my worries and negative self talk). Amazing and I absolutely recommend!

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.
