Ms. Peeples has been a great help to me. She responds at nearly anytime or at least the soonest she can . She makes me step outside of my head and really reflect on how my actions effect others. I actually look forward to working with her each week. It was really hard for me to find an African American Female therapist, but this was extremely important in my search. It’s exciting to feel comfort in sharing my story.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
