counsel-chat

This repository holds the code for working with data from counselchat.com. The scarped data are from individiuals seeking assistance from licensed therapists and their associated responses. The goal is to provide a high quality open source dataset of quality counseling responses.

I've recently added the data to HuggingFace so getting the data should be as easy as:

from datasets import load_dataset

dataset = load_dataset("nbertagnolli/counsel-chat")
