Hello and congratulations on taking the first step to becoming a better you. I'm Cortina and I look forward to connecting with you and helping you to facilitate change in your life. Thank you for taking time to inquire about therapy services, that will serve to improve your emotional and mental wellbeing. Your interest in therapy shows that your emotional and personal growth is important to you. As your therapist, it is my job to help bring you to a level of awareness so that perceptual changes can be made that can help to decrease your current level of emotional distress. As your therapist, through my experience I will bring the best that I know. I will hold you accountable and call you out when need be. I may seem tough at times, but I want YOU to do the work that needs to be done. I will bring you the highest of my insight, wisdom, and spiritual guidance. I will keep a holistic perspective in our work together because I believe that the Physical, Spiritual, and Soul (mind, will, emotions) all work together to form the healthy person. You can expect truth from me even when you may not want to hear it. I will always have compassion and empathy for you in all that we do. I value you as a person in need of care and I will do my best to honor that. I am an EMDR trained, Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I am also a certified Life Coach and an AASECT Certified Sexuality Educator. I completed both my Master’s in Mental Health Counseling and Bachelor’s in Psychology at Nova Southeastern University. I have been providing professional counseling services since 2008.

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.

Mrs. Cortina Peters has really helped me start to reach the root of my issues and help me become a better version of myself. Although it has only been a few sessions, the way she carries herself and communicates with you makes you feel at ease. I highly recommend her.
I feel like we’ve really connected and she has been able to help me so much with my anxiety.
Cortina has got the the heart of things and helped me to face demons that have been around most of my life. She is friendly, professional, courteous and non-judgemental. Thank you Cortina
She is so knowledgeable. She is patient, sweet, and very kind. I don't think I could have been blessed with a better counselor.
Working with Ms. Peters has really helped a lot in the short amount of time. She is always very punctual and professional. There is a nine hour time difference between us, and she is able to accommodate my session for a time that will work best for me. Before meeting with her, I could not have a conversation about what I was going through without crying. After our first session, it felt like a weight had been lifted off of me and I was able to communicate without being so emotional. This is my first time in therapy and Betterhelp.com really matched me with the perfect therapist to meet my needs.
Cortina is very knowledgeable and personable. She has a true gift and I am glad that she knows her purpose. She truly listens and focuses on me during our sessions to ensure that I get the healing I am seeking through counseling. I’m grateful that she is helping others. May God continue to bless her!
