Life transitions, such as childbirth, parenting, divorce, and stepfamilies can be challenging. I have 30 years experience applying an integrative approach based on family systems research, psycho-dynamic psychotherapy, and hypnosis. I am a pioneer in perinatal psychology. www.Petersonchildbirthmethod.com describes my work with women and their partners preparing for birth and motherhood for the first time, or after previous loss or birth trauma. I also treat individuals for depression and anxiety and am skilled as a life coach.
I have written extensively as a family therapist and on numerous websites. My website, MakingHealthyFamilies.com won an award from the AAMFT for benefit to parents. Visit to browse free resources available on marriage, parenting, particularly the focus on healthy family development and research on characteristics of healthy relationships.
I look forward to working with you to support you through life changes, and to understand and heal the past, while creating a firm foundation for positive direction moving forward in your life. Visit www.askdrgayle.com for free articles and information.
