See what our patients are saying about Peter McMullen

Peter has single-handedly changed my life for the better. He is so attentive and pays attention to small details and really makes you feel heard. I love his approach to therapy in our sessions. I also really appreciate that he is one of the only counselors who take in person appointments. He does offer virtual as well though! I started with twice a week and with his help have felt comfortable enough to transition to once a week. I would recommend Peter to anyone who needs to be heard and needs help keeping mental health in good standing, especially after a traumatic event :) Lifestance is also great! They make booking and payments easy.
