About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
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 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.

Great therapist. Very personable and easy to connect with.

I’d highly recommend Shawn if you find yourself trapped in cycles of addictive behavior. He’s very professional, and he’s helped me work through a lot over these past few months. I hope you’ll find him as helpful as I have!

Reviewed March 2023

I've had few therapists who've actually remembered the small details about myself and cared about my story. Shawn is one of them. He's helped me learn more about myself and has pushed me to become a better version of myself without fail. He asks meaningful questions and challenges me when needed. I always appreciate how he ends each of our sessions with affirmations and encouragement that are always exactly what I need to hear. I am grateful to have a therapist like him in my life.

Listens well. Helps to set attainable goals. Appreciates honesty. Very professional and articulate!

Reviewed February 2023

My past experiences with therapists/counselors were always less than desirable, so my expectations were low after randomly selecting Shawn as my therapist. But, I couldn't be happier that I did. I was in a real bad place after a life changing event and Shawn got me back on my feet sooner than I thought was possible. He spoke to me like we've always known each other, and without the pomp and arrogance that I've experienced in the past. Shawn continued to challenge me, and never made me feel like I was 'just another patient' on his schedule. He has a palpable desire to help others and I'm sure you would be happy going with him if you're hurting.

Reviewed February 2023

I have been with a few therapists before Shawn and have never felt more comfortable in a session. Truly amazing! Offering different approaches to situations I couldn't even think of. Even after just two sessions, I could tell this would be extremely beneficial for me.
