The decision to reach out to a therapist may be a difficult one but is viewed as a strength. Not knowing the answers to all your life questions is normal. Whatever your reason for seeking therapy, I will listen to your concerns and help you decide upon the most appropriate course of action.

My compassionate, firm approach helps most patients lead more happy and productive lives. I do not help you make excuses and will not recommend therapy indefinitely. I do not believe in endless therapy that costs you a fortune. I genuinely care for every patient. My record of integrity & responsibility speaks for itself.

Often, people choose therapy during times of stress and emotional pain. It may also be when you want to grow . The decision to seek therapy is a very personal decision. I'm experienced in treating an array of issues & disorders, including, but not limited to: · Addictions (Substance and Process) · Major Depression Disorder · Adult Children of Alcoholics · Men's Issues · Military/Veterans · Anxiety Disorders · Mood Disorder · Bipolar Disorder · Panic Disorders - Co-dependence · Personal Growth · Crisis/Trauma Recovery · Schizoaffective Disorder · Dually Diagnosed Individuals · Schizophrenia · Ex-offenders · Self-Esteem · Grief/Loss Counseling · Spirituality · Impaired Professionals · Stress Management · Life Events/Transitions · Substance Abuse/Dependence

About online counseling

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

What an excellent therapist! Pete is so talented at pinpointing problems and suggesting solutions that are just right. He has so much wisdom and insight to share. I would recommend to anyone ready to grow!

Reviewed April 2023

I've been seeing Pete for a little over a month now. He's honest, and upfront, while still being respectful and sensitive to the topics being discussed. You can definitely tell that he's interested in getting to the root of the problems that his clients present, and helping to alleviate those issues. I truly feel comfortable during our discussions, and like he's guiding me in the right direction. With my husband's support, I've been able to do a lot of work mentally because of Pete, to the point that my husband has noticed the difference in how I handle conflicts/difficult situations. I'd definitely recommend him to others who need a little assistance navigating these crazy things we call our brains and emotions!

Pete Cosens is a genuine unbiased professional who will listen with intent and respond honestly. I have enjoyed the sessions i have had with him, allowing myself to open up and address issues or concerns with myself in a judgment free environment but will again provide honest opinions. Would recommend for those who seek to recognize their own faults and to be validated where warranted from an outside perspective.

When I first started these sessions I was ready to walk away or even change my therapist. Now I look forward to talking to Mr. Pete. These past 3 weeks were crazy hard cuz my father got sick and rushed to the hospital. Then like he knew, Mr. Pete was there even when I wasn't able to make our meeting. I am so glad I stuck with this and Mr. Pete cuz I know he'll tell me the truth not something that will make me feel good. All I have to say is thank you for putting Mr. Pete with me. I think it was the best choice. Olga Perez
