More about Christopher

Overcoming life’s trials and transitions can, at times, be no simple task and can often lead to anxiety, stress, depression, self doubt or other ways of adapting which are less than optimal. Many times, these transitions take the form of the loss of a relationship or business, the stress of a career change, being at a crossroad regarding a significant life decision, or the stress of parenting a child who is expressing emotional turmoil through negative behavior, defiance, substance use, or poor school performance.

Having an experienced professional on your side when trying to navigate through the maze of life can help you gain clarity and develop a plan which can lead to the most positive outcome possible.

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 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.
