Peter is a kind, intelligent, thoughtful therapist, wonderfully patient, and extremely knowledgeable. He has a style that puts you at ease, and makes you feel comfortable sharing your thoughts and emotions, even when you normally don't, and gives spot on advice when you need it. He is a consummate professional I would recommend to anyone who needs a compassionate ear, a big heart, and a keen mind to help them through a troubling time.

Peter is an adaptive therapist who has keyed into my needs and responds accordingly. He is sensitive, which is needed for one to feel safe in therapy, and he doesn’t coddle me either which allows me to accept his kindness as sincere. I trust his constructive criticism, and never feel he lacks sensitivity.
