Jimmy has been unbelievable to work with. He’s been kind, gentle, caring and understanding. He was my first ever therapist and has given me a great respect for the field and I have recommended many of my friends that are struggling to do the same.

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.

Had one session with jimmy and he made me feel at ease

Reviewed November 2024

I cannot recommend Jimmy highly enough as a therapist. From our very first session, I felt an immediate connection that set the foundation for meaningful and powerful therapy. Jimmy's approach is characterized by genuine care, kindness, and deep understanding. What sets him apart is his willingness to explore issues from various perspectives, including spiritual ones, which was particularly important to me. He brings his whole self to each session, demonstrating honesty and vulnerability that fosters a truly open therapeutic environment. Jimmy's attentiveness is remarkable. His careful note-taking and ability to reference previous discussions showed an impressive attention to detail, making me feel truly heard and understood. He has a keen eye for spotting underlying issues, offering valuable observations that led to significant breakthroughs. I always left our sessions feeling better than when I entered, a testament to Jimmy's ability to provide real, meaningful advice and support. For anyone seeking a therapist, Jimmy offers a rare combination of qualities. His approach is infused with kindness, humor, and thoughtfulness. He shows a remarkable ability to tailor his methods to his clients' specific needs and comfort levels. Jimmy creates a safe, understanding space while offering practical, insightful guidance. His support has been invaluable to my personal growth and well-being, and I'm confident he can offer the same to others seeking therapy.

Jimmy is really understanding. Makes sure I understand where he’s coming from and what he’s saying. Jimmy is incredibly helpful and finding ways to help me with my problems.

A perfect match for me in regards to what I need from a therapist.

Reviewed June 2024

I worked with Jimmy for about 3 months on various problems from dealing with issues of self-loathing and self-esteem, to dealing with substance abuse, relationship troubles, learning to set boundaries and many other different topics. I found that any problem or thought on my mind was open for discussion with Jimmy. He made the atmosphere of the session welcoming, warm and constructive. Jimmy is punctual, efficient, patient, kind and personable. I never felt judged for the topics I was bringing up, even if it was sensitive. Jimmy always took the time to listen patiently before returning a well-crafted response. I have felt my time with Jimmy to be incredibly constructive. I am walking away at the end of these 3 months feeling happier and with a new sense of inner peace. I couldn't recommend Jimmy more.
