About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online 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.

Overall

Rev. Ayala is empathetic but direct in the counseling approach. I have experienced several bad counselors that left me fragmented and confused believing counseling does not work. This has changed after working with Rev. Ayala. Life has thrown hard balls at me. Counseling with Rev. Ayala is given me tools to navigate my current life challenges but the clarity and resources he is equipping me with is giving me faith to believe my challenges can be overcome.

Overall

Christian therapists are few and far between, and it took me a while to connect with one. Rev Sergio and I have been working together for a short time, however both his insight and feedback has already helped me so much. Thankful for him and his work.

He listens to me attentively and offers sound advice for what I'm dealing with on an everyday basis. Yet, he helps me see the brighter side of myself and life in God. Thank you
