Holistic Counseling Services

For many people world wide, the option of online counseling has proven to be a highly effective and convenient way to recieve guidance, counsel, and assistance with life's complications. The anonymity and convenience of email or secure chat allows client's an added buffer of confidentiality in that the office they are visiting is actually on the internet; no danger of having your car seen parked outside the "Counselor's office".

Another bonus to online counseling is the increased variety of services and range of professionals who provide them. Counselor/client relationship is a key factor in success when working with one's life concerns. If the relationship is not viewed positively by the client, progress is stunted at best, and non-present at worst. Often times, consumers may find that their local counseling professionals aren't a "Good Fit". Online counseling provides an opportunity to locate a counselor with whom a positive and productive relationship can be formed.

How does Online Counseling Work?

Online sessions are available in 1 hour and 1.5 hour increments. Formats utilized are confidential email (all responses will be made within 48 hours), or by internet chat engine. (yahoo IM, AOL IM, MSN Messenger). Sessions are pay-as-you-go and rates are available on our "Getting Started" page. The convenience of pay-as-you-go is a great plus for individuals who do not feel the need to see a counselor on a regular basis and would like to recieve counseling when they feel there is something to address.

Is Online Counseling for me?

Sometimes in life we find ourselves with situations or troubles that are beyond the ability of friends and/or family to assist us through. Still other times our friends and/or family may be the root of our troubles. In those instances it is important to find an objective, professional and compassionate point of view to help lend you perspective. Counselors provide just such a service but often times the very individuals who need this assistance have difficulty securing the services they require. Below are some examples of reasons why this can happen:

Time constraints or lack of transportation: Some people keep non-traditional hours and still others either do not drive or do not have easy access to trasportation.
A lack of available counseling professionals in the local area.
Concerns about being identified: Some people for whatever reason do not wish others to know they are seeing a counselor.
Sincere concerns about lack of understanding from local counseling professionals due to differences:(race,creed,color,sexual orientation,religious affiliation, culture, physical appearance, disability).

If any of the above are accurate to your current circumstance then online counseling may be a viable option
