Pete is awesome. Easy to talk to and helps you understand things that you might normally not. Gives you perspective in a way that makes sense. I am very happy that I matched with Pete.

Peter is a really good therapist. He is quiet but he listens to everything you say and always has a good response to my problems.

I think Peter cares about the topics and applies thinking topics within those topics. A brain dump turns into an identifier of some sort. Peter has a consideration to hear out the person and I appreciate that.

If you find talking things out loud & having someone to listen through brain dumps is a helpful strategy for your therapy, I believe Peter is a solid therapist to help support. In my therapy, I look for someone who I feel acknowledged from and who can pick out pieces of information that can help guide me. Peter does a great job at active listening and providing space for myself to figure things out.
