It shouldn’t be so hard to understand ourselves.

But it is. Our challenges follow us on vacation, between jobs, and across relationships. The only way to see real change is to identify what is causing our problems in the first place.

Find the right words.

Therapy will help you turn feelings that are hard to express into insights that get you back to enjoying life again.

I've worked with Mend Counseling in a number of different settings. Their insights are always helpful. Mend helped me find ways to breakthrough multiple stuck stuck places in my life. I highly recommend their work.

Having supervised Peter during his time at Mindful Counseling GR, I can say with confidence that he brings a depth of wisdom, insight, and compassion to each relationship with his clients. He has a rare ability to see beneath the surface of symptoms, help people get to the core of their struggles, and find healing and deeper freedom in their lives. Peter does this with a skillful approach that is both gentle and direct. I recommend his work as a psychotherapist without hesitation.
