Dr. Peggy is the best therapist. She actively listens and responds with helpful feedback in how to change something from a negative to positive. She also actively challenges me to think differently which is exactly what I need to get me out of harmful/destructive ways. She is simply the best!

More about Peggy

  • 20 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

My name is Peggy Wilson, I have a Masters degree in Human Science with an emphasis on workplace behavior. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than 15 years experience. My background in the business world in leadership positions in the profit and non profit setting, along with my mental health training and experience,

equips me to make a valuable contribution to clients dealing with anxiety, depression, lack of coping skills, feelings of uncertainty, emptiness, lack, difficulty adjusting to life changes and transitions. Much of our lives are centered around our work or lack of work across our lifespan; it is important to become enlightened to the drivers of our own behavior and how it impacts business and personal relationships. Very often clients discover barriers, childhood traumas, self-sabotaging and self-esteem roadblocks that impact every area of their life and create needless struggle and pain.

My approach to helping my clients is to act as a guide and raise their level of awareness to resolve or dissolve problems that could otherwise create a lifetime of suffering.

I am living, breathing proof that good counseling has the potential to bring peace of mind and feelings of well-being. I work with my clients to set goals and landmarks and encourage them to keep going. Counseling is a process, it can make the biggest difference in your life.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

She has been wonderful and mostly listens. This is my first time with a therapist but I’ve had life coaches before. I’m use to doing reflective homework after a session or having solid takeaways and this feels a bit different. We are just starting our first few sessions, so maybe it’s still the “get to know you stage” of things. I would recommend her up to this point.

Peggy is a wonderful therapist. She fully supports me and gives me the confidence I need to enforce boundaries in all aspects of life. She challenges my negative thought processes and reframes things in a more constructive manner, but never makes me feel as though she’s talking down to me or belittling the emotions I experience. I absolutely would recommend Peggy to anyone seeking help.

Peggy Wilson is a great coach. She’s always looking for strategies to help me cope within a difficult situation that does not involve leaving every situation that causes my discomfort. I feel that that aspect is extremely important. We can’t all just run away from things that cause our discomfort situation will always present themselves and without abilities to thrive in spite of those circumstances we will not be able to exist in a world full of those circumstances. It has taken a long time to find a counselor who is willing to meet me where I’m at and help me work through the dynamics of my own circumstances rather than simply leaving over and over again and never learning how to change myself to become someone better able to handle those dynamics! This has been a game changer for me!
