Peter Covert, PMH# 1851, MS, CP
Provisional Mental Health Counselor, Psychodramatic and Addiction Therapist

Peter uses a strengths-based approach in working with clients and their perceptions. In sessions, the presenting problems will be attended in such a way as to clarify the problem, explore identified patterns, determine potential solutions, and mean to implement to solutions or goals. Peter believe clients are much stronger than they might know, and entirely capable of improving their lives in proportion to knowledge of the problem and their interest in experiencing creative ways to approach our challenges. A board certified clinical psychodramatist, Peter utilizes methods where the client might demonstrate their understandings, enact what took place, gain insight into how the situation may have had a better outcome, and actually role play, or “role train” the client new and creative approach. Some of life’s greatest struggles offer great rewards, if we take the time to think about the problem, understand it, and take some form of action, in our own behalf, for our own well-being. Experiencing ourselves change, becoming better, stronger confident is a wonderful experience. Just taking the step to confront what bothers us, is empowering. Facing those fears, sorrows, compulsions willingly, is the basis of psychotherapy. Allow me to introduce you to this process.
His experience with clients covers the entire developmental spectrum, as a children’s therapist at acute crisis stabilization psychiatric hospitals, and community mental health centers (7 years), To working with Hospice patients and their families (5 years). Peter has provided Addiction treatment with adolescents, adults and elders. Recovery requires a strategy, rarely do human being recover in isolation.
