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.

My time with Allen changed me as a person, and I’m better for it. I’ll always appreciate the work we did together.
So comfortable to talk to
After three sessions, I have the sense Allen is a consummate professional and one who is capable of delving into deep topics, without fear and with good focus and keeping it comfortable but capable.
Dr. Allen is honestly the best person to talk to about anything going on in your life. He's super supportive and non-judgmental, and even though that's what you'd expect, I haven't found anyone I could relate to as well as him before. Right from the first session, I felt comfortable sharing stuff about my life, which was a huge relief. Sometimes, when I feel overwhelmed, having someone like him to talk to has been amazing because at first I would struggle finding who to run to with my stress. Over the past four months, I have felt more heard than I have ever been in most of my adult life. Dr. Allen doesn't just listen; he gives me real life advice to help me handle my challenges better. I don't feel like I'm talking to a robot in a chair or someone who is just paid to be there, I truly believe he is Godsent. He is consistently supportive and genuinely cares, which makes me feel understood, seen and valued. He is definitely someone to talk to! !
As we have worked together Allen has both intently listened to my concerns and actively challenged me to grow via thoughtful introspection, which is resulting in immediately impactful progress.
Even after my first session I feel so much more confident in my success in life. Thank you so much.
Great!
I am very pleased with my Therapist and Bettterhelp
Allen is very good at what he does. He is highly professional and takes his time to listen to me. It was very easy for me to communicate how I feel because he made me feel at ease and willing to talk. I always leave every session feeling better with a fresh perspective.
Good human being, receptive, good listener , I recommend him for mental health support, regards
He’s a great guy.
I just started therapy and so far Allen has been great. He’s a great listener. He is patient and attentive.
Very good, listens, focuses on reflection and leads me to come to important conclusions on my own. I have only had 3 sessions but our conversations have been very helpful and I am learning and growing every week.
I am extremely lucky to have Allen as my therapist. It has been a wonderful experience and I look forward to continuing growth and learning from our sessions and my homework
Allen is not only a wonderful therapist but a human being. He seems me not as a patient but rather a person and refuses to diagnose and pioneer to a conclusion as he gently leads me to my own conclusions. He does not impose but really listens and provides insightful views as opposed to autonomous conclusions. I would highly recommend having an Allen in your life as he is an admirable master in his profession.
Dr. Appiah-Boateng is an amazing Therapist listens and gives great insight to my problems. Thank you!!
He’s awesome
I've only had a couple of sessions with Allen. He asks a lot of questions to really understand you and your concerns. In this little time he has already given me new perspectives and a lot to rethink.
I think Mr. Boateng is a great counselor. I enjoy the time we are able to communicate and talk about issues concerning my life. I couldn't be more blessed.
I have enjoyed meeting with Allen. He is very relatable and does a great job of listening to me and helps me process my life and behaviors.
