For nearly four decades, I have been grateful for the opportunity to journey alongside those facing adversities in their life path. Everyone encounters various challenges and struggles that profoundly impact their lives and the lives of those around them.
Though English is my sole language, I have learned to speak a dialect that exists in every culture, the language of love. It seems to be ingrained in our very hearts, urging us to embrace compassion, kindness, and goodness. Tragically, many have experienced anything but love.
I consider it as both a privilege and an honor to walk alongside you through what has been, what is, and what could be. My intention is to provide a personalized road map equipped with practical tools to give hope and light a path forward through life's realities.
I take a holistic approach to mental wellness, considering the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit. My services can focus on addressing not only psychological but also physical health
and spiritual well-being.
By emphasizing the importance of a well-rounded approach, I offer a comprehensive perspective on
mental wellness.
My approach involves
deeply understanding your concerns, actively listening to you,
and
forming personalized plans that take into account your strengths, as well as past and present challenges.
This method aims to
light a pathway
through the difficulties you encounter in your life's journey, all while equipping you with
tools for future endeavors and encounters.
I also offer the integration of
evidence-based practices, including
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
and
Trauma-Informed Hypnotherapy (TIH).
This means that I use these scientifically validated strategies and established therapeutic methods in accordance with
a client's request, choice and agreement.
By remaining up-to-date about advancements in the field and continually receiving training, I strive to provide my clients with the utmost quality of care and grant them access to scientifically validated strategies.
Dr. Petit's help literally saved our marriage. We were one step away from calling it quits. He was able to sort through all the surface "stuff" to help us see what we really wanted. We still struggle and come back in every once and a while, but we've decided to reach out for more with each other and it is the best investment of our 21 years together.
Dr. Tom, you were there when I went through some of the darkest times of my life. I thought I was not going to make it through. You listen, really listen, and when you talk, you have just the right words to give me what I needed to do the next thing. From crying all the time and not knowing why, to crying about things that matter, I can see light again and even though I still struggle, I know I will make it.
