A Personal Message from Dr. Young:

Our Virtual Clinic provides Crisis Intervention, Education, and Individual Counseling. I am a clinical psychologist and have worked with hundreds of clients in a variety of medical settings including Strong Memorial Hospital, University of Pittsburgh Medical School, WPIC, and the Cleveland VA Medical Center. In March of 1997, I established the first Virtual Clinic for Internet addiction issues and general mental health problems. While I initially started the clinic to work with individuals and families dealing with cyber-related problems (e.g., cyberaffairs, pornography addiction, on-line time management), I also counsel those who suffer from relationship problems, anxiety, depression, social phobia, compulsive sexual behavior, problem eating, and much more.  Because knowledgeable and high quality resources are often limited and expensive, I created this service to meet your healthcare needs.  Please review the list of Email, Chat, and Telephone Counseling available and the Common Issues addressed at the clinic for more information. Hours are by appointment with evening and weekend options available, typically within 24 hours or your initial contact.  For Immediate Service Call 814-451-2405.

First, decide what type of service you prefer. To provide the best service to you, several options are available.

Chat room counseling:

Chat Room Counseling is a live, real-time, interactive dialogue directly with the me.  Once we arrange a time to talk, you will be given access information for entrance into my PRIVATE chat room.  This service allows us to have a  more in-depth conversation and enables you to freely express your concerns and to ask several questions.  In many cases, individual chat room sessions can be arranged within one or two days after your initial inquiry.

Since marriages and significant relationships suffer from the aftermath of a cyberaffair or cybersexual addiction, I also offer Chat Room Counseling for Couples.  Couples Counseling allows you both to engage in the counseling experience together to quickly resolve these issues and helps to rebuild the broken trust, renew commitment, and rekindle the passion in your relationship.  

The fees are based upon the number of sessions desired.  Chat room sessions are arranged in 60 minute intervals with a cost of $75.00 (US) for each session or you may select the Counseling Package Plan of three 60 minute chat room sessions for a special discount rate of $210.00 (US).  The cost includes an initial diagnostic consult and brief, solution-focused interventions are used to provide immediate results.  Couples Counseling is available at the same rate schedule.  The fee is  more cost effective than office visits that range from $95.00 - $150.00 and these discrete sessions can be conducted from the privacy of your own home. 

Payment can be made directly with a credit card or by check or money order, whichever is most convenient for you.  Hours are by appointment with evening and weekend options available, typically within 24 hours or your initial contact.  For Immediate Service Call 814-451-2405.
