I work with individuals, couples, and families, using CBT, DBT and other modalities to teach you tools to change your patterns.
Are you wanting to make changes in your life but don't know how or don't have the necessary support? Maybe you're struggling with addiction or have loved ones who are struggling, or maybe you’re just trying to work through some current issues that have you feeling “stuck”.

I incorporate a mixture of Adlerian theory and Cognitive Behavior Therapy to help address the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that people want to change so they can build on current strengths and increase their self-esteem and confidence.
I offer a free phone consultation before setting up our initial meeting, because I believe that it is important to make sure that clients and therapists are a good match for each other. Although it may be difficult at times to share our life experiences with one another, I have seen that working through our most challenging life events is what helps us grow the most. I love talking with teens, adults, and athletes about the challenges and changes they want to conquer in their life, and I am motivated to be a part of the new lifestyle that people choose to develop for themselves. I am experienced in both sport and health psychology.

With 23+ years within the mental health field I can support individuals, couples, and families in building strong bonds and connection in their most important relationships using CBT, DBT, IFS, EMDR therapy, Somatic therapy, and neuroaffirming.
Interactions with a loved one can bring out the very best and worst in us. If the dynamic with your partner or child/teen is a repeated source of pain, I am here to help. Instead of trying to understand each other, most make accusations & get defensive. I help couples and families to uncover feelings driving their interactions and reactions and then teach communication skills to help them transform the way they relate and connect. I truly believe that a loving and supportive relationship/family is one the most amazing gifts we can give to ourselves, children, and loved ones.

I have training in CBT, CPT, DBT, ACT, and EMDR.
I believe that therapy is a collaborative process. Each person comes in with their own unique life story, strengths, barriers, and goals. It is my role to create a nonjudgmental and safe environment to explore what will be helpful for each person. My practice focuses on helping people develop a more mindful, intentional, and compassionate way of living, and increase a healthier connection with oneself and others. Areas of focus include anxiety, stress, women's health, highly sensitive, eating disorders, aging, life transitions, relationship struggles, parenting, depression, pregnancy & postpartum, and grief & loss.

I have been using DBT, CBT, and Motivational Interviewing therapies to support the journeys of my clients in the past few years.
Hello! My name is Peter Kehoe, LMFT. I was licensed in 2002 and have had an eclectic and sometimes electric life experience to date. I believe in self determination and using support teams and individuals to create positive orientation. I started my journey in this field working with alcoholic adults in a group setting in the early '80s and later moved to a long term residential setting with adolescents with drug and alcohol issues. My internship was in an upper class community with the scions of these families that had substance use and behavioral disorders. Individual and family therapy were the mediums in those cases.

My trainings in EMDR, CBT, and DBT, and more than forty years in practice, have given me the understanding, along with the clinical skills, to sit with people during their darkest times and help them find comfort and healing.
I am an eternal optimist, and believe strongly in the method of training clients to empower themselves. I practice EMDR for anxiety and trauma processing, and use behavioral therapy for depression. My work includes coaching Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, and I believe strongly in helping people develop self-care regimens to prioritize themselves. My focus often includes working to assist people in finding a balance between home, work, family, school, socialization, and physical health. Goal setting is an important component of therapy, so we work together to establish treatment goals that are reasonable and attainable.

Waitlist for new clients
From my time working at Stonewall Alliance and time working with youth in mental health crisis I have been trained in DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy), CBT ( Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and I naturally have an attachment and trauma-focused perspective.
I believe we all are doing the best we can with what we've been given, but sometimes we need a little more. We need compassion for ourselves and our life situation, so we can see a way to a different future than the track we're currently on. I look at life and relationships from an unbiased and non-judgemental lense so my clients can focus on describing their experiences and situations without fear or worry. My goal is to help you make sense of things from a new perspective and to help you move through your current space differently, eliciting different outcomes than those you've experienced in the past.

I utilize various treatment modalities such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ( CBT), and Family Based Therapy (FBT) in supporting that goal.
I specialize in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and the treatment of Eating Disorders. I have provided care at the Inpatient, Partial Hospitalization, Intensive Outpatient, and Outpatient levels of care for the past 20 years. In addition, I co-authored a book titled, "It Was Never About the Food". In that time, I have learned the most important aspect of change is the willingness for change along with a trusting therapeutic relationship to support the desired change. Behavioral change is one of the most challenging dynamics in life and my role is to provide the roadmap and support to effectively reach the desired destination.
