Peter Gevisser is a licensed Therapist who works with Couples & Individuals. In helping couples work through conflict, they emerge with a deeper, more satisfying relationship. In this way, conflict is seen as an opportunity for growth. Peter also works creatively with individuals struggling with depression; & drug, sex and alcohol addiction, by exploring ways to substitute negative habits with positive rituals. Creativity is explored further with clients moving through grief. In learning to live with loss, one's life may be richer for it. His hope is that by providing a safe space for the client, the world outside will become a little less overwhelming.
Imago Therapy: couples are coached to talk without attacking and listen without defending.
