Who are your clients?
My clients are just like you. I see men, women, young, and old who are seeking a little support. Some are here for big problems, others for smaller ones. It is a myth that therapy is only for emotionally damaged people. It is likely that you’re at your peak of health right now because you are looking for a therapist. It is normal to seek out support when you need it. No problem is too big or too small for therapy.

What will happen when I call you?
When you call, I will either answer the phone or you will get my voicemail. I will allow plenty of time for you to ask questions and I will inquire into what brings you to counseling. Then if you want to move forward, we will schedule your first appointment.

What will happen at the first appointment?
We will spend our first time together getting comfortable, building rapport, and talking a little about what brings you in. You can share as little or as much as you are comfortable with, as with any session. This is an interview for both of us; so you can determine if I’m the right therapist for you and I can determine if I can provide the best treatment possible for you. Also, at the first appointment you will fill out a brief intake packet that tells me a little about your current life situation, and I’ll have you sign a few of the necessary forms.

What appointment times do you have available?
I have morning, mid-day, and evening appointment times available during the week. Mid-day appointments are particularly popular for the downtown clients coming in during their lunch hour. Sessions are 50 minutes in length.

How often will I come to therapy?
I recommend you come weekly at first but we will evaluate the frequency of your sessions as we move further into the therapeutic process.

What is your office like?
I share an office with two naturopaths, a hypnotherapist, and a colon therapist. The atmosphere is casual and relaxed; in fact, you might see Dr. Peters walking around with no shoes on. The therapy room is comfortable and private.

How will I know if I have the right therapist?
The most important aspect of therapy is the relationship that forms between you and your therapist. Thus, it is essential that you choose a therapist with whom you trust and feel comfortable with, with whom you feel you can open up and be honest with, someone who both accepts you for who you are and challenges you.
