These are not easy times. Online therapy can help.
In these unprecedented times of COVID-19, while shutdowns and stay-at-home orders are putting stress on our day-to-day lives, people are more in need of good options for therapy than ever. Not only have our usual issues not gone away with this huge change in our lives, often they have gotten worse, and new ones have showed up to boot!
If you’re struggling with a problem in your life right now, help is available online, from the comfort and convenience of your own home.
Benefits of Online Counseling
- No need to travel to someone’s office
- Create your own setting that is comfortable and conducive for you
- Speak to someone who specializes in the area you need; we have specialties in dealing with infidelity in relationships, domestic violence, adoption, identity, and more
- No waiting in a waiting room
- More privacy than showing up at a counseling practice in person
- It can be easier to open up about difficult or embarrassing topics when separated by a computer screen than when face-to-face with a counselor

Frequently Asked Questions
Online Therapy
Isn’t it kind of impersonal to talk to a computer screen?
Perhaps – but you’re not talking to a computer screen; you’re talking to a human being who is there to help you get what you need out of this. Many people are surprised to find out how normal and comfortable it ends up feeling once they try it. It doesn’t take long to forget the screen is there and just be two human beings talking face to face.
But I’m not tech-savvy at all!
You don’t have to be. All you need is an internet connection and you’re good to go. We’ll send you a link to click on and it will open up a window to speak to us – that’s all there is to it! If you’re using a mobile device you may have to download an app. We can definitely walk you through this is you need help.

We see not only individuals but couples and families online as well. This can be extremely valuable if you are in a long-distance relationship: we can videoconference all together and handle relationship issues no matter where you are in the world.
Family Troubles

Our Testimonials
Raffi made me enjoy going to therapy. I have learned to talk through issues that seemed impossible and I feel so much better about the communication in my relationship now.
Tyson V.
Highly professional but down to earth. Both my husband and I felt completely understood and valued; something couples often fear simply cannot be achieved. I’m sure we’ll return we need a “tune-up”!
TA
I will always be grateful to Raffi for helping me through a very challenging time in my life. Within a few minutes of our first meeting, I was comfortable talking to him. I would highly recommend Raffi to anyone.

I met Caitlin about a year and a half ago. I automatically felt comfortable with her. She has a warm disposition and so friendly. She really made an effort to get to know me.
Chavi Shpilsky
Raffi is insightful, intuitive, experienced, and has a sense of humor. I would recommend Raffi to a friend or relative without qualm.
Channah C.
Caitlin is very professional–I found her organized, attentive and thorough. She made herself available when I had to reschedule sessions and she would follow up with me on her own time if she knew I was going through a challenging experience. She is one of the most top-quality people I have ever met.
Amanda Rosner
In such a short time, you worked wonders! One or both of us may return in the future but please know we’re both indebted to you. We’re back to cherishing our time with one another and back to looking forward to a long life as husband and wife.
