A Message From Dr. Gould I am Dr. Roger Gould. Thirty years ago, when I was the head of outpatient psychiatry at UCLA, I set out to create an effective and affordable alternative to psychotherapy, which is what I am offering you today. It is not for everyone, but it may be for you. If you need therapy and can't afford it; you are in therapy and want to do work in between sessions; you are using medications for anxiety or depression that are not working; or you simply have some problems you want help thinking through, My Virtual Shrink may be a good option. It is not free, but in keeping with my vision of affordability for everyone, we have a premium subscription that costs only 56¢ a day.

This is not psychotherapy. You will not be entering into a doctor/patient relationship. However, it is an alternative way of learning what you would otherwise learn in therapy, specifically the kind of things about yourself and your mind that you don't learn in school. I have translated the critical components of psychotherapy into a step-by-step, guided process, which are actually "sessions" that will help you do for yourself, in the comfort of your own home and on your own timetable, the same kind of thinking and learning that you would do if you came to my office for treatment.

I won't be there in person, but what I have learned about life and how the mind works will be present in every step. I'll supply the right questions and insights to help you find the answers you need to find in yourself. In that way, I will be your virtual shrink.

I am convinced that the program is both effective and affordable. The published research demonstrates the effectiveness of this method. It's affordable. You can get a month's worth of work with as many sessions as you want for less than the co-pay for just a single session paid for by insurance. As an added bonus, it is easily accessible, day or night, without the hassles of travel and appointments, thanks to the internet.

This is something unique, never before seen on the internet. The only way you will be able to decide if this is right for you is to start building your My Plan, which will be a snapshot of the problems you need to address and the changes you need to make. It will introduce you to the program and give you some additional material to read. If you don't want to go any further, you can simply push the delete button and your information will be erased

I am a big fan of psychotherapy. I have practiced psychiatry for over thirty years. If you need therapy and can afford it, I strongly encourage you to do that. If you are in crisis and need to talk to someone right away, this is not the program for you. Please call your doctor or check with your doctor if you have any worries about starting this program.

My purpose is to help as many people as I can who want the help I am offering. If you could use some help now, please press the join button and start buildiing your smart plan. If this is not for you, please tell others about us.
