About online counseling

Affordable.

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, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Mazda is the first therapist that I have ever seen in my life. I was really surprised at how comfortable I was with him the first time that we met ! I’ve been going through marriage troubles and battling personal issues for a long time now and I always thought I had it under control. I lost the key to my toolbox for a while and things got out of control for me. Mazda has helped me find my key and realize that I don’t have to be so hard on myself when things happen. I’m definitely a work in progress but I’m extremely grateful for the knowledge and wisdom that Mazda has shared with me! I look forward to our sessions!
