I wasn’t really sure what I needed, but I knew I needed something. David has helped me make huge improvements to my mental health. He provides the most relaxed environment with his personable attitude. David constantly offers insight and new research for the topics we are discussing and always makes me feel safe saying whatever I want. No matter how silly I feel, he always has a great reaction, making it easier and easier to discuss even the hardest of topics.

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.

I wasn’t really sure if I was ever going to receive the outlet I felt I needed, but even after a short period with David Spellman, I truly feel I finally found it. He offers insight and converses with me while giving me all the time and space I need to say what I need to say. I never felt so hopeful.
After only 2 visits with David Spellman, I am already impressed. He asks such thought provoking questions. He is helping me look at situations differently. I'm not sure how long I'll be able to afford this service, but I think it is helping!
