Walt has a fantastic ability to put things into perspective. He holds me accountable for my goals and is always encouraging and positive. I could see him as a friend if it weren't for that whole client/therapist boundary. That's how good he is at his job!

Hi! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 8 years of counseling experience. I have worked with individuals and families presenting with a wide range of concerns. I have extensive experience working with individuals who have experienced trauma, loss, and with families in conflict. I have also worked with individuals struggling with various life transitions. I have counseled in mental health clinics with clients within criminal justice settings (adult and adolescent), and as a school-based therapist for teens.
My counseling philosophy is that YOU are the expert of your own life; and therefore, you know BEST what you need. My approach is integrative, incorporating different therapeutic techniques to make sure that your specific concern is addressed in the way most effective for you. Our work together will always be person (you)- centered and strength-based; because, again, I truly believe that you have what it takes to succeed. My role is to guide and support you in building the skills and confidence necessary to accomplish whatever goals you have may have set for yourself. Together, we can deconstruct "stinking thinking" and unhealthy habits; and, replace them with healthy thought patterns and habits. Congratulations on taking the first step, seeking therapy.
I look forward to meeting you and to begin working together! Let's do it!

About online counseling

- 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.

Very proactive and welcoming of communication
He keeps it real and listens. His style varies on your needs. I appreciate it him very much
Walterson has been great his energy is amazing and down to earth.
Walt is compassionate and understanding. He has helped me to identify areas of weakness and we are working through strategies to resolve long-time, deep-seeded insecurities. He is helping me confront issues in positive ways and I am making better progress than I ever have before. I am grateful.
Literally BEST therapist I’ve ever had. Immediately started feeling better after our sessions. Great at helping me towards my goals in all aspects of my life which makes my quality of life better. He’s going to challenge you. Listen to you. Give you homework. And applaud you when no one else will. I can tell he’s passionate about what he does. Really think this is his calling and purpose. I recommend 100%!!!
I've had the pleasure of working with Walt for a few years and I've been very happy with his service. He's a very approachable man who has always been willing to patiently work with me and be accommodating. I've been struggling with self hatred and he has provided me with insight and strategies to view myself and my circumstances in a more fair and reasonable light. His perspectives will be something I'll take with me for life and has helped me countless times outside of our sessions. He is a very professional, friendly, and insightful therapist and words can't begin to describe how grateful I am for our time together. I highly recommend him.
He is TOTALLY AWESOME!!!!
Tremendous progress in my trauma healing with Mr Torchon. I'm q survivor thriving now!
Walt is my saving grace.
Walt is the best. Really enjoy working with him. The only down fall is he is so good everyone wants him all at once. So his schedule is packed.
Walterson is a wonderful friendly face and listening ear, completely free of judgment, which I appreciate very much.
Great guy. Listens and offers sound advice
Walt is an awesome therapist. His analogies have a great way of getting to the heart of an issue and help me to better digest it. He offers great tools and insights to whatever issue we are discussing. I would highly recommend.
Walterson has been extremely responsive and understanding. I enjoy our conversations and appreciate his insight.
Walt has been a tremendous help to me over the past year. He has helped me see my issues for what they are and move on. He is a great listener, and caring and supportive in his responses. I believe I have made a lot of progress and am living a better life because of our sessions.
Walt is a heaven sent. He is intentional with understanding my needs even when I don't think I have a need. He challenges me to be great and better than the last time we communicated.
Walterson is nice and personable but he can take more time to really get to know his patients. He sometimes forgets crucial information that was brought up in previous sessions and seems distracted or uninterested at times . He can take more initiative.
It’s helpful to vent and work through my thoughts with Walterson
Walt is fantastic and has helped me make critical steps towards bettering myself.
Walt has been a godsend during these troubling times. He listens with a compassionate ear and gives wonderful advice. He is great at helping break down complex problems. I always feel like he is in my corner. Thanks Walt!
Walt understands my problems and understands how to address them. I feel seen and heard. I’m glad I went with this therapist.
I am very glad to have been paired with Walterson. I was apprehensive because I wanted a female therapist that was my age. What I found was that he is exactly what I needed. He is accurate, holds me accountable (the most important part), and I benefit from his perspective.
Great person to speak with. Extremely grateful for everything he has helped me with. Looking forward to speaking with him again soon.
Walt is very easy to open up to. He has a very trustworthy demeanor and is an active listener. Being a man a faith is a huge plus!
He’s awesome!!
