James has been extremely helpful. I got connected to him in one of the darkest moments of my life and after one session, I already began feeling better and more hopeful. Through our work together, I’m confident he’ll continue to guide me towards a more fulfilling and healthy life.

About online counseling

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.
