​Don’t settle for less; select the best therapist.

Back when I worked for an outpatient clinic, a supervisor asked me, “Ryan, if you needed counseling, would you come to this agency?” Was it a trick question? I balked.

I thought, “Um, no.”

“You would want to speak with someone in private practice, right?” She called my bluff. “We do the best we can here…”

When I needed to talk to someone, I was willing to pay out of pocket. I knew the value of counseling and my mental health. Some people are willing to pay for the right therapist.

It should not be that hard.

We can get a cheeseburger 24/7, even during a pandemic. Therefore, we should be able to get high quality therapy on demand.

The idea of access to online counseling with real, professional therapists was born.

Private practice counselors have years of experience, training, and wisdom. Often, they are experts in niche areas of mental health, like couples counseling, anxiety/depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, women’s issues, or parenting.

Mental health is the secret!

When I heard about other big companies offering virtual therapy, I had to learn more.

Text message or email counseling alone is not enough. In fact, it’s borderline unethical.

Our business model is different.

The most important aspect of good counseling is the clinical relationship between client and counselor. We pride ourselves on matching clients with the best clinician for them, based on the client’s unique needs.

We take care of RealTalkCT.com clinicians, so they can focus on taking care of clients. You can feel the difference – we care because we can.
