Read our privacy policy A woman who allegedly posed as her therapist wife counseled hundreds of patients online without any qualifications to do so, an investigation by officials in Florida found. The woman — who has been identified as "TR" in court records — is reportedly married to Peggy Randolph, a licensed clinical social worker operating largely in Tennessee and Florida, according to the Florida Department of Health. Randolph worked for Brightside Health, and allegedly helped her wife, "TR" impersonate her in online therapy sessions, according to the investigation and a settlement agreed to in Tennessee. The wife of licensed clinical social worker Peggy Randolph impersonated her spouse and gave online counseling sessions for years despite lacking the credentials to do so legally An obituary for Randolph's wife names the woman as Tammy Heath-Randolph, which is consistent with the "TR" initials found in the Florida investigation documents.
