Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Very happy with our progress
Dr Penda is extremely helpful, supportive and insightful. Always feel a bit better after a session with Dr E.
Dr. Penda Listen to understand instead listening to respond.
He is wonderful helps me stay grounded in my madness
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 here's me and has helped me with my confidence. He believes in me more than I believe in myself.
Really appreciate E’s support and outlook. I would highly recommend him. Thanks for your help legend
Penda Rocks
Very talented, compassionate and helpful person, highly recommend.
He is amazing! He saved my life through extensive trauma therapy, and he never pushed my outside my comfort zone to grow, he led me lead but always reminding me how far i've come when I wanted to give up. truly supportive and motivating, and accountable therapy.
Incredibly easy to talk to. Down to earth and provides easy direction on steps to better my life. Some asks are different then previous therapist I’ve had but I think that’s what’s making the difference.
A great therapist who understands the issues and problems and deals with them in the most efficient and respectable manner possible. I would highly recommend his therapy to everyone. His approach to dealing with relationships is very unique and handled with a great deal of care in a way that makes it obvious that he cares for his clients and their situations, as Dr. Penda is a great therapist and a good man.
He’s amazing! His experience living in so many countries really gives him a broad world view to help you out he’s the first therapist that has actually worked for me and I’ve been on and off therapy for years
Dr. Penda has been a wonderful therapist to work with. He is kind, respectful, gives great perspective and listens to what is is that I am sharing. He remembers what we talk about and always helps me clear out the things on my mind. I highly highly recommend Dr. Penda!
A fantastic therapist who supports you and willing to challenge you to grow
Very excellent and straightforward therapist
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.
Extremely talented, skilled and compassionate
I’m in a very complicated stage in my life to where I need to cut off everyone and just take care of my own mental and physical health and doctor Penda has made it easier to approach the topic and conversation with a clear understanding of everything around me and I appreciate him for it because it feels as though I’m back in control of my life.
Dr Penda is caring and really cares about making a difference and helping me learn coping skills to help with depression. He is a good listener and well educated!
Dr. Penda has encouraged me to manage my emotions during some really difficult times. He has had me reflecting on my feelings when I am feeling activated, and has provided some real life coping skills that I can apply in real time, that resonate with me. Super grateful that he has a flexible schedule and is very responsive to my messages! Thanks Dr. Penda!

He’s amazing !
He's a good listener, and gives great advice on remedies to any concerns you may have. It's very cool to have a Therapist who is interested in my experiences.
Dr. E is wonderful at understanding a situation and helping me see it form a differing (and healthier!) angle.
Super friendly, I was nervous and reluctant at first but he helped me put those fears aside. I sometimes feel anxious about our scheduled meetings but I'm always feeling better after our talks, he's helping me feel better and more confident about myself.
Very empathetic, skilled to respond in the appropriate manner and very talented in his field of expertise…would strongly recommend
Dr. Penda is an extremely knowledgeable and empathetic individual. You can tell he cares and is not afraid to challenge you for you to grow he is the best therapist I could have asked for especially for my first time in therapy.
He listens to your concerns with compassion and empathy. He’s way of teaching is very subtle that before you even know it you are a different and happy person after few sessions. I strongly recommend Dr. E
Dr. Penda is a fantastic counselor. He listens but also asks lots of questions. I didn’t start therapy for someone to just agree with me. I want someone that is honest in what he sees and also gives me the tools to move forward. This is Dr. Penda.
Dr. Penda has been great with helping me gain clarity in my conflicts. He offers support in a very unique motivational way that makes it seem possible to overcome circumstances which is very beneficial for those with low confidence. I am very satisfied with working with Dr. Penda!
Dr. E is beneficial with my issues and understands them well, especially with Asian culture. Let him help you; it would be your best decision toward self-healing.
