I cannot move mountains for you, but I can help you climb. Facing fears, healing from loss, finding meaning and joy - these are the inevitable tasks of life. Therapy may be your first step or your last resort. Often people avoid it all together because they believe their pain is too great, worry they will be judged or that their situation is too complicated. Some people believe they should solve problems on their own or only with family and friends. However, while family and friends may want the best for us, they often come with opinions or past hurts. Sometimes it helps to have a safe space outside your daily experience.

Hi, I’m Peter, and I’m really glad you’re here! I believe therapy should feel safe, supportive, and human — not intimidating or clinical. I have training in Mental Health Counseling and experience supporting people with trauma, anxiety, depression,ADHD, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. I work at a pace that feels right for you, and my goal is to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and never judged — just supported as you work toward feeling better.

Healing rarely happens in a straight line, and you don't have to figure it out alone. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York State, and I provide telehealth therapy for adults coping with trauma, anxiety, depression, and other serious mental health conditions. Meeting online means you can do this work from the comfort and privacy of your own space.
My path to this work began in healthcare settings, where I helped patients and families through major transitions. Since then I've worked in outpatient substance use and mental health clinics and in a county mental health clinic, supporting people with a wide range of needs. That experience shapes how I show up for clients: with clinical skill, and with patience for the ups and downs of change.
If you're ready to start, or just curious whether we might be a good fit, I'd welcome the chance to talk.
