About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
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.

Respectful, fantastic listener, who exhibits a safe and caring environment for his clients. Asks the right questions and never, ever judges
Richard is consistently punctual, which I really respect. He is very attentive and always has a follow up question or comment for any of my points throughout our sessions. I find him very practical and sensible in his suggestions, too. Would happily recommend him to anyone on BH.
Richard helped me out a lot. He has a great personality and made me feel good during our conversations. I really recommend him, and I hope that when I come back I can get him as my therapist again.
