Don is very helpful and informative with his advice. And even when I don't understand what he's trying to say. He still tries different methods to explain to me what he means to say. He's very respectful and thoughtful of my time. And always checks up on me! 10 out of 10.

Reviewed December 2024

I’m only 2 sessions in but I find Don easy to talk to. He listens and he responds accordingly. He creates a safe space to speak my truth and share my uglies and vulnerabilities which is exactly what I need and was looking for. I’m looking forward to more sessions.

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.
