Hello! I'm Dr. Shawn Smith, a licensed psychologist who offers online services through my secure server.

eTherapy can be useful for coaching, relationship concerns, and exploring answers to life difficulties.

Online counseling isn't right for every situation. That's why I offer a free online consultation. Getting started is easy as 1-2-3.

I'll ask you to read my disclosure statement and terms of service. This covers such topics as confidentiality and situations for which online therapy is inappropriate.

I'll ask you to provide some information about yourself. We won't exchange information via email, which is terribly insecure. I am very picky about protecting your privacy!

You'll be taken to your login page. Once you login, you'll be taken to your private message forum (click here to see what it will look like). There, we can communicate about your situation.

That's it! I'll usually respond within 24-48 hours. If it looks like we can work together online, I'll send a response outlining my thoughts and asking if you want to proceed. (As soon as I post a response on your private message forum, you'll receive an email asking you to login to your account).

If eTherapy does not seem appropriate for your situation, I'll try to refer you to a better source.

If we continue working together, the cost is $85 per hour, or $45 per half hour. I accept payment through PayPal, so you will never be asked to provide financial information directly to me.

An hour-long session usually includes several exchanges over several days.

If you you're ready to take that next step, let's get started. You have nothing to lose right now but a few moments of your time. And perhaps that small investment will start you on the road to the life you want to live.
