Peter Pretkel

My communication style

My communication style is calm, non-judgmental, and personable. It is important for me to empathize with your situation and understand how you see things.

My journey to mental healthcare

This work for me is a calling that has allowed me to see the broad range of obstacles, difficulties, and suffering people experience in their lives. I do my best to think through things for clients, often using theory, and this allows me to be more effective in reducing clients' distress.

My goals for you

It is essential to tailor therapy to meet your needs, style, and goals, and to reevaluate your goals with you periodically.

Our first session

The first session involves a discussion of administrative matters, essential elements of your history, and your current symptoms, concerns, and stressors. I will also ask about your goals in therapy, your past experience of therapy, and what you think would be most helpful in our work together.
