Life presents an array of stresses, situations, and challenges within relationships that can be overwhelming. Adapting to new circumstances disrupts our sense of normalcy. With almost four decades of experience, Dr. Petit has provided invaluable therapy and life coaching, particularly focusing on nurturing loving relationships. Feelings of anxiety, disappointment, and anger can intensify due to painful past experiences, including hurtful abuses and betrayals. This leaves life feeling bewildering and burdensome. My approach fosters growth and healing by acknowledging the past, present, and future within a secure environment, guiding you toward a well-lived life.

In everyday life, we don't always get the chance to express how we are really feeling or share our struggles in an honest way. Psychotherapy provides a unique environment where you can share your emotions and true self and be met with empathy and the full attention of another person. In our sessions, I will be there to support you on your journey of self-discovery and self-acceptance. Through this relational approach, you'll discover patterns you want to change, increase self-awareness and gain coping skills that work for you.

As licensed psychotherapists, we provide a safe and supportive therapeutic environment for helping our clients to process emotions, traumas, and explore their personal experiences to gain insight and make progress toward their goals. Processing your experiences in psychotherapy has many benefits, including lessening undesirable symptoms, increasing positive emotions, improving outlook on life and helping you to understand yourself and your life better. We will utilize psychotherapy techniques tailored to your specific needs to assist you in getting closer to where you would like to be.

I work with an entire person--the mind, emotions, body, spirit, relationships. I offer an alternative approach to traditional psychotherapy because sometimes we are stuck beyond our thoughts. I believe we are often stuck beyond how we think about something, but by how our body holds and remembers the experiences. After all, we feel the anxiety in our chest, shoulders or stomach. When we are depressed, we struggle to move, sleep, concentrate etc. I work to remove the block from wherever it is stuck. My clients come to me after years of ineffective therapy. They are looking for more than talking about their struggles or identifying how they think about them in favor of a change in living.

James Hillman once said, "We've had a hundred years of psychotherapy and the world is getting worse." While there are many occasions where the validation and listening endemic to psychotherapy makes sense, there are times where we over assume that "feeling better" and "changing behavior" are the same. Grey Matters International, Inc. goes after the forgotten brain laws to behavior change that therapists miss when processing hours and hours of dialogues with people. Utilizing a cutting edge technology to facilitate the emotional process of change, we can make the therapy process way more effective, faster, and with less money spent.

Psychotherapy literally means "healing of the mind or spirit." As a licensed psychotherapist, my job and purpose is to facilitate this, according to the client's presenting needs and stated concerns. By being interested in the client and providing a distinct context for communicating within a safe friendly environment, the client can more ably express and address what is on his or her mind or troubling him or her. This venting and processing of difficulties and challenges, and picking up of key psych tools and concepts, can help one manage and overcome things that previously seemed daunting and perplexing.

Understanding how you view the world can carry immense benefits. I can help you learn how what happened to you may have negatively affected you, and how to understand how that has colored your viewpoint until now. By examining your own history, you can change your life in a positive way going forward. It's almost impossible to see yourself- let me hold up a mirror and help you understand yourself and your world better.
