What I used on TimelyCare is the counseling portion of it, and I found that to be really helpful because it seemed like the person I was talking to was in this unbiased position to give me kind of advice on what I was going through in my life. I wanted a counselor that kinda reflected what I looked like. I found this excellent counselor, and he was African American, very educated. I felt more comfortable because I thought he could speak to my specific issues and my specific experiences.
