In a very short amount of police, Peter has helped me shed an enormous amount of guilt and grief. My confidence and self acceptance have grown by leaps and bounds. I'm looking forward to exploring new territory but for the moment, I'm just extremely grateful for his compassion and expertise.

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.

Peter is great and I really enjoyed our session and his expertise
I can't believe how much Peter has helped me in such a short period of time. I was going through a rough patch in my life. And to be able to talk to someone about it outside of my circle was critical to me getting better emotionally and mentally. I'm a 47 year old male with what I like to call broad shoulders. I think I can handle everything on my own. Peter has reiterated that I don't need to do it alone. Friends and family really can help talking personal issues out. Reflecting on one's life really helps as well. Putting the shoe on the other foot persay. Thank you so much Peter for helping me realize things don't need to be perfect. Some times it's better to shut up and just observe.
Peter has been great at understanding and dissecting my core issues at hand. I really appreciate his feedback and support, I highly recommend him!
Peter has been of great assistance in my time of need.
I am surprised by how easy it is to talk to Peter, I am also EXTREMELY grateful for his kindness, expertise and professionalism. My only regret is that I didn't start therapy years ago. Since talking to Peter, I've recovered from wounds I never thought would heal. Thank God for the therapists!
Peter is has been very knowledgeable, patient and competent. I would recommend him to others
I highly recommend this therapist. Their compassionate approach and effective strategies have significantly contributed to my overall well-being. Grateful for their expertise and support.
