Dr Gorritz has been incredibly helpful, and very patient with me. I feel allowed to explore my thoughts in ways that aren't overly guided or judged, and helped me value my awareness and feelings towards my own situation much better. He helped me through a really unhealthy one-sided relationship where I knew I was sacrificing my health but couldn't seem to justify stopping... As somebody who struggles with their identity, I really appreciate his curiosity about my life, choices, motivations, etc. His encouragement to understand my feelings through different situations made a genuine positive impact on my life, and I've been finding myself in better environments since... He's great

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Doctor Gorritz is a wonderful therapist. He listens, he cares, and he can help guide you through the challenges of life. I would highly recommend BetterHelp and Doc Gorritz!
Dr. Gorritz helped me go from anxious, depressed and self deprecating to zero anxiety, no depression symptoms and self mastery. If you want to find yourself and your purpose, he'll help you get there. If anything, he's too good at what he does. So good, that you may find yourself impowered enough to have nothing to talk about, lol. I can't give him enough props because most therapists seem like they are building you to be dependent on their services where Dr. Gorritz is clearly helping you find lasting and permanent solutions. If you're ready to live a better life, he's a great place to start. I feel like a new me and for the first time in my life, I look forward to the good times and the challenges. It's truly empowering to work with a professional that generally cares. 100 out of 10
Great guy and wonderful therapist
Doctor Frank is a great listener!
It’s been a few years now and I’m very satisfied with Dr. Gorritz
Dr. Gorritz offers a compassionate, comfortable and safe space to share everything that you are experiencing in your life. Opening up to someone is very difficult but Dr. Gorritz was patient, and very supportive.
Frank feels like a friend more than a therapist at times. He helps you out in ways that you don't realize until after you have worked with him for a while. He is compassionate and just a wonderful human being. 10/10
Dr. Gorritz is amazing and supportive and I love our sessions.
Dr. G is the best. In each session I feel heard, seen, validated, and appropriately challenged. The range of expertise Dr. G holds is comprehensive. That was important to me, as I have LGBTQIA+ needs, religious trauma, ADHD, grief, work stress, and addiction awareness concerns. Dr. G can do it all. I have tried several therapists in the past and struggled to connect, but I finally found the right one with him. He doesn’t judge any of my beliefs, yet also isn’t afraid to challenge my stances. It’s exactly what I wanted and needed in a counselor.
He is always there for me when I need it, even if it’s not our usual time. His experiences and empathy make him feel very real and he doesn’t kid around with the usual scripted lines you hear TV/movie therapists say. He’ll tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear.
Very concerned for his patients and checks on them
Amazing therapist who is always there for me when I need him.
Love that Dr.Gorritz keeps up with me. You can tell he really cares!!
Dr. G is patient and kind. I feel like he's a good friend rather than a therapist.
Dr. Gorritz has essentially saved my life. He's gotten me through the hardest situation I've ever been in. I'm eternally grateful. I'd recommend him to anyone and look forward to continued development.
Dr. Gorritz is a great therapist so far. I have had only 2 sessions with him and he has been the most empathetic and accepting person I have met. He knows when the mood does not have to be so glum while also being respectful towards my viewpoint.
Dr. Gorritz was very easy to connect with and was a great listener! I am very excited to begin this journey with him!
Dr. Gorritz is doing a great job!
Dr. Gorritz is a friendly face and always encouraging to both me and my partner during our sessions. He poses questions and allows conversation to play out naturally.
He genuinely cares about me and he actively listens to me.
Dr Gorrtiz is amazing! He is very caring and very empathetic. Love him!!
One of the best therapists I’ve had. Easy to talk to, knowledgeable, inclusive, empathic and supportive among many other things.
