When I met Dr.Peterson I was definitely lost and looking simply to combat burnout. Fast forward a few months later, with doing the work I might add, I’m happier than I’ve ever been. Loving my work and home life and I’m trying new things. Dr.Peterson is definitely someone I’ll always have on my team of mental health professionals.
