Mr. Hamilton has been a great therapist for me for quite sometime now. I can always count on him! He is caring, compassionate and professional. Listens closely to what I am saying and always helps me out when I am having trouble. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing “Better Help.”

- LMFT, LPCC
As a licensed therapist with nearly three decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice focuses on helping clients address challenges such as depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma recovery, and grief. I offer a compassionate approach that honors each person's unique journey, whether they're seeking faith-based guidance or a secular therapeutic experience.
My expertise centers on supporting men through life transitions, addressing social anxiety, healing from past traumas, and helping individuals rediscover their sense of purpose. I understand the profound impact of isolation, shame, and personal struggles, and I'm committed to creating a supportive environment where clients can explore their emotions, develop healthier communication patterns, and work towards personal growth and healing.
Drawing from extensive clinical experience, I provide a warm, understanding space where clients can explore their challenges, develop resilience, and move towards more fulfilling lives. My approach is tailored to meet each individual's specific needs, respecting their personal background and therapeutic goals.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.

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.

Dale has been extremely helpful in providing me needed support when I needed it most. I am able to talk to him not only as a therapist but as a friend.
Dale has an excellent sense of when to intervene and direct the therapy.
Dale is very approachable and lets you speak out what you're feeling and recommends great worksheet exercises to help identify the triggers and great solutions for you to figure out how to improve those areas.
I have had several appointments with Dale Hamilton recently. And I have to say that he has been very professional, kind and considerate. It had been years since I had therapy and I wasn’t sure if I would get anything out of it. But I really have. And I feel so much better! He has helped me open up a whole new world for myself. And this is just the beginning! I’m looking forward to working with him to help me continue to move forward.
