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.

He is wonderful helps me stay grounded in my madness

Reviewed September 2024

Dr. Penda knows how to get to the heart of the matter and will confront you in a gentle yet firm way. Since I'm a therapist myself, we have more of a back-and-forth conversation rather than a full-on therapy session, but that just shows how easily he can adapt to different people. He's a really kind guy and you can tell he genuinely wants to help you out. I'd recommend him to anyone who's looking for help with their problems.

Dr. Penda's calm demeanor invites you to be vulnerable, quickly marking his sessions as the safe space that I strongly needed. His balance of quiet professionalism and warm insight makes for a confidante that feels both like a brother and a mentor. He was able to share strong insights, guidance, and challenges that really were a turning point for me and my wellbeing. I could not have made it through this challenging time in my life without Dr. Penda. In such a time of struggle where I did not feel I had many safe and courageous spaces, Dr. Penda was someone I could fully depend on. I will be forever grateful for his guidance.
