Peter is by far the best therapist I have ever had. I was initially a little anxious as I had never done telegraphy and had also never had a male therapist. My first session with Peter immediately assuaged those anxieties. He is an attentive listener and is extremely good at helping to see and talk about the heart of an issue. I love that he offers concrete, research-backed perspectives on the issues we discuss and follows up with practices to help me grow in my mental health journey. I am really so thankful for him!

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.
