Testimonials:

—Peter Bennett was unequivocally the most personable and effective therapist with whom I've ever worked. He took me on as a client during a particularly challenging time in my career and emotional life. He's an empathetic listener, and he poses the most thoughtful and perceptive questions that are always designed to help clients re-author their lives in ways that draw on their own unique strengths and skills. His Narrative approach to therapy--with the central precept that all human lives are multi-storied--helped me move beyond a problematic mono-story that plagued my thoughts and self-perception for years. I "graduated" from our work together as a much happier and healthier person, with newfound Narrative skills that I'm able to apply via my own work as a teacher and writer. Thank you, Peter!

—Peter Bennett is one of the most skilled, empathetic therapists I have ever worked with. I was experiencing severe anxiety attacks that occurred because of significant medical problems, the end of a long-term marriage, and a move from my home of 40 years in another state to Portland. I was in rough shape. Peter has an amazing skill set. He helped me to focus on specific issues I wanted to work on. He listens carefully and then he asks you probing questions that help you to clarify your challenges. As a licensed clinical social worker, he is uniquely qualified to identify helpful community and state resources. I can’t recommend him highly enough. He will help you to help yourself.
