More about Peter

  • 30 years' experience
  • Male
  • LPC

I have been a therapist for many years. I have worked in private practice with individuals, couples, and families. My approach is to present myself as a real person who has been through his own life challenges who also has professional training and experience. I use a variety of therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy, psychodynamic therapy, family therapy, and others. I choose the ones that seems to best fit the client and the situation. I think that developing a relationship with a client can help promote trust and confidence. I’ve gotten great satisfaction in helping numbers of individuals, couples, and families to move forward and thrive. Most recently, my work has been focused on individuals with depression, anxiety, and challenging life changes.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I’ve only had 1 call with Harvey but I can already tell he’s the guy. From that one call, he’s already helped me improve my perspective on life.

Reviewed May 2022

I've been criticized and put down for my own thoughts my whole life. Peter is the first person to make me feel like my thoughts and feelings not only matter, but are not inherently wrong. Tonight I told him I was going to try to adopt a cat (after failing a week earlier with my first cat, which I returned because it was not a good match for me)... everyone else in my life made me feel weary of this decision and it weighed on me heavily. I told Peter about it and his first response was " I like it, that's great. You aren't giving up!" I felt so touched and a huge weight lifted off of me. It felt so amazing to be heard and supported. I am so thankful to have met him. We have much more work to do on my journey, but today was a huge milestone of trust and support between us.

It's only been 2 sessions so far, but I already feel like I'm heard and supported. Thank you Peter, looking forward to continuing this walk together.

Peter says what he means, and what he means is the vast experience that he acquired through real life experiences. I've never had the pleasure of speaking with someone like him. I truly think he is doing all he can to help me out and his wisdom goes beyond a PAYCHECK.
