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.

Verry compassionate, easy to chat with, professional therapist. Genuinely interested in helping me with my issues. Really enjoying therapy with Thomas.
Even in a short time, I feel like Thomas has very effectively identified a lot of my primary challenges and given me a clear path forward after each session. He not only listens extremely attentively, but understands and responds with meticulous care. Based on my preferences of straightforward and to-the-point solutions, I think this was a great match and I look forward to continued progress!
Thomas is a great therapist I really enjoy my time with him
