Jon is amazing. We have only been working together for about a month at this point but we have made progress and I am eager to keep working with Jon because of how much I learn about myself and my world when we talk. Highly recommend him!!

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.

Jonathan is wonderful. He listens and responds in an insightful and helpful way. He prioritizes what I want to speak about.
I have struggled with my sexuality and being able to be open about it in my relationships in the past. Jonathan has helped me to feel more confident about who I am and has helped me see myself in a different way. I would highly recommend him!
Jonathan is a wonderful therapist. We hit it off right from the start and that was important for me as I really felt like I was at a very low point in my life. From the first meeting he instantly made me feel comfortable and allowed me to speak openly and freely about my problems and truly express how I was feeling lately. Not only did he listen, but he gave me great tips for handling my stress and panic attacks and has continued to give me advice that has helped me tremendously over the last few weeks since I started BetterHelp. I couldn’t be more grateful to be paired with Jonathan and I plan to continue meeting with him weekly for the foreseeable future.
Jonathan is so awesome and understanding and calming. I'm definitely experiencing positive results from my therapy. I feel a lot more optimism and a better outlook after 2 months of therapy. Now, I really look forward to my conversations with Jonathan
