There are many other issues that I have been able to assist with including coping with the challenges in a blended families, workplace stress, financial concerns, and men's issues. We can work together in whatever manner you are most comfortable with, including phone and texting and sometimes video sessions if that is your preference. My availability is mostly during daytime hours during the week with some evening times and a handful of afternoon times on weekends, but I do check and respond to messages every day. I look forward to to working together with you in this noble endeavor that you have decided to embark upon with us here at Betterhelp.
