Peter's Approach

Practical therapy that connects insight with everyday change.

The treatment approach listed on Psychology Today includes Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, with care planned around the concerns that bring you to therapy.

I often work with clients who may be struggling with emotional regulation issues and various related problems. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.

Psychologist, MC, R Psyc
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. With DBT, we will explore various practical skills for reducing unwanted symptoms and improving your relationships.
