Richard has been clear and direct. In our opening session he wanted to make sure he was offering the best service he could for me. He is transparent with the way he works, the types of therapies he uses. I have been very comfortable talking with him and found that I feel understood. I would highly recommend him if you want a structured and transparent approach to therapy.

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.

Very understanding and honest. Doesn’t tell me what I want to hear but what I need to hear. While doing it in a way that doesn’t make me feel worse. Great at his job and easy to talk to.

He’s excellent and gets to the core of the problem to help you solve your problems
