In Person Therapists in Council Bluffs, IA
People are unique, and I help them make changes by entering into a relationship that honors who they are. This relationship fosters a safe place to heal old wounds, explore the vast realm of possibility, and reach a more peaceful state of mind, body, and spirit. To enhance our work together, I am experienced in many ways to communicate and integrate information. This may include traditional talk therapy, EMDR, play and art therapy techniques, and EMDR as a tool to enhance insight into oneself and a person's role in relationships and their environment.

Welcome! My name is Pete, and I am very glad you are here! Whether we are struggling with work, relationships, health, or any of life's challenges, seeking outside help for a personal issue can be a difficult decision to make, especially if we are accustomed to facing problems entirely on our own. There is an ancient proverb that states “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” Although it can be scary and full of unknowns, a decision to incorporate therapy (and go together) while trying to tackle overwhelming and important issues, can be one of the most empowering decisions you choose to make in life.
