Mark is very understanding and helped put a lot of what I was going through into a better perspective. Taught me a lot of great skills to overcome and deal with depression. I would highly recommend Mark to anybody who just needs to have someone to talk to and get a secondary perspective whether they’re struggling with mental illness or not. He gave me lots of great insight and advice that I still practice today in my daily life!

I have spoken to multiple people throughout the years. I can honestly say Mark has been one of the most amazing and genuine people I’ve come across. He’s a straight shooter, so be prepared to not hear what you want sometimes, but it’s definitely what you need. Whether you believe in God or not, Mark is definitely a gift from somewhere!

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.
