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, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Mazda is the first therapist that I have ever seen in my life. I was really surprised at how comfortable I was with him the first time that we met ! I’ve been going through marriage troubles and battling personal issues for a long time now and I always thought I had it under control. I lost the key to my toolbox for a while and things got out of control for me. Mazda has helped me find my key and realize that I don’t have to be so hard on myself when things happen. I’m definitely a work in progress but I’m extremely grateful for the knowledge and wisdom that Mazda has shared with me! I look forward to our sessions!
