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.

Darwin is an excellent therapist; he listens to understand, initiates concepts, lets you decide to pivot in the direction you want to. He provides a warm energy to open up and be yourself. He’s consistent in providing tools for your tool belt. He’s extremely wise and intelligent. He offers insight on measurable results to therapeutic goals. He also has great aspects of his own life he pulls from - to provide you with tidbits of systematic knowledge that can give clarity to hard concepts. Personally, I tend to talk in metaphors, imagery on intellectual concepts. Darwin can really reply to that and bring me back to my emotions instead of my thoughts, or he can reply to me and engage. I really appreciate this in a therapist. If you are struggling or grappling with hard trauma, thoughts, life experiences he can really help you get back to being yourself. ALL AND ALL, Darwin is pretty fantastic!

He has given me practical guidance & tools to help me digest and address my experiences. I appreciate how open he is to having sessions flow based on where I am at and what I am sharing.

In such a short time he has helped me, I've been able to dig deep in myself to see where certain problems arise from. His method and approach is strong and focused, the pain that will hit you while in session will subside, it's part of the process. He's the best therapist I've ever had, he really listens.

He never lets me down. He’s here when I’m not here for myself. He knows how to help if you’re open to getting the help, it’s important to know that if you really want to change in life then you have to put that work in as well.
