Peggy is the best! This is my first therapy experience and I’ve been seeing her over a year. She calls me out when I need it, is supportive, and exactly what I hoped for when signing up for therapy. She pushes me out of my comfort zone and helps guide me through my own thought processes.

More about Mary

- LISW
Experienced, empathetic therapist who will help you to work on the problems that are interfering with your living your best life. Includes understanding identity, LGBTQI, mood, relationships, anxiety, grief, aging, family, past/present trauma or other issues that interfere or keep you from living life to the fullest. While gentle & supportive in my approach, I also know that sometimes what is needed, is a therapist who can also call out BS and help you get unstuck. I am that therapist.

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.

Peggy is the best! This is my first therapy experience and I’ve been seeing her over a year. She calls me out when I need it, is supportive, and exactly what I hoped for when signing up for therapy. She pushes me out of my comfort zone and helps guide me through my own thought processes.
She’s great
Just off of our first session I knew Peggy was the right therapist for me. I have switch therapist a few times and was apprehensive about finding a new one and on the verge of giving up, but I ended up being automatically matched with Peggy and found my match. As someone who isn’t officially diagnosed with ADHD but shows symptoms of it, Peggy is perfect because she has experience in helping people with it and is always kind and empathetic and very experienced. I feel safe talking to her and look forward to more sessions in the future.
Mary is calming, caring, understanding and supportive. She listens and provides direction and encouragement. I feel very fortunate to have found her!
I am growing in to the best version of myself and Peggy has been an integral part of my growth process. I appreciate her expertise and insights. I value her time and I feel that I am improving after every conversation
There's not enough room here to fully express my appreciation for Peggy's professional and personable approach. Her insight and wisdom continue to guide me even after our sessions. I'm so grateful for her expertise!
Peggy is compassionate, focused, and provides nonjudgmental feedback. She is caring, observant, and professional and has done so well in gently exploring my issues, feelings, and behaviors.
I really appreciate Peggy’s approach and thoughtfulness. She has provided me with truly effective feedback and I am proud of the work we have undertaken together.
Mary is a wonderful therapist. She is caring, funny and honest. She has helped me gain confidence in myself. She was always on time and made me realise things about myself that I never though through. I would strongly recommend her.
Peggy is extremely compassionate and caring. She has given me great guidance with regards to my son. And, has been a solid shoulder when I’ve needed it. She is extremely responsive and attentive to my needs. Thank you!
