Counseling You Can Put Your Faith In

 

CLIENT REVIEWS: 

​

Dear Dr. Peter,

I am deeply grateful for all the help and support I received from you during our weekly sessions.

When I first came to you, I was living in a very unhealthy environment. I was broken and wounded inside, and I truly believed there was no hope for me. I was going through one of the worst times of my life—facing intense struggles and trying to cope with severe daily challenges.

I came to you with:

• Intense panic attacks that often led me to the ER

• Anxiety, PTSD, and difficulty dealing with toxicity around me

• Codependency

• Overwhelming sadness and constant crying

• Experiences of being degraded for my faith

• Experiences of being degraded for my ethnicity

• A deep sense of lost identity

I felt I could no longer trust anyone.

Through our work together, you taught me so much. These are some of the things I have learned:

• How to maintain healthy boundaries

• How to strengthen my self-belief

• How to respect and love myself

• How to surround myself with healthy, supportive people

• That I am intrinsically valuable

• What to allow in my life—and what not to tolerate

• How to associate with people who genuinely care for me

• That “no” means no

• How to be bold, courageous, assertive, and firm

Because of this process, I slowly began to love myself again. All I did was share my life and my experiences with you, and from that, I began to grow and learn.

I have nothing but admiration and deep respect for you, Dr. Peter.

For years, I had been put down and degraded for my strong Catholic faith and for my background. Today, I no longer allow myself to be around anyone who disrespects me. I no longer put myself in harmful situations. Everything I learned from you has helped me rebuild my sense of worth and identity.

Sincerely,
 

Paula

Dear Dr. Peter,

Thanksgiving is an opportunity to reflect upon on the people in my life I am grateful for. I want you to know of your importance and impact in my life and how I can never truly express how grateful I am for you.

When I was at my lowest point in life, I made the decision to tell no one for fear it could somehow make its way to my children. It was an incredibly lonely time. I called two therapists before I found you, and both of them told me I needed to leave my husband and that my children could handle the information at their ages. They said he needed consequences and that people like him do not change. I would be doomed to a living hell.

You were the first person to kindly listen to me, encourage me and give me hope. Even though Hank was not on board at that time, you told me it was possible to recover from this and I received my first ray of sunlight from you.

As we have progressed through therapy, you have given me so much validation. All those years I was never certain if my feelings were justifiable or if I was just an overly demanding wife. It was such a relief to have you defend me and clearly correct my husband and let him know his behavior was appalling. He needed to hear that from another man and from someone other than me. That gave me confidence and strength.
He listened to you because he sensed you had integrity and you slowly earned his trust. At the same time, you helped build me back up. I was feeling so rejected and worthless but you made me feel like I am a great mother and wife and constantly reinforce that to Hank as well. That has been so reassuring to me.

You have also helped me to see where I could improve as a person and as a wife. You opened my eyes to what my husband needs and gave me tools to improve our relationship. You taught me how I could show him love and respect. These simple concepts and small actions worked wonders and as I began to see him soften towards me, I really began to feel that our marriage had not only the possibility to heal but that it could perhaps be better than it ever was.

My expectations for therapy were that my husband would stop his behavior and I would have an outlet to express my pain and frustration to a person who was safe. It has been so much more than that. With your expertise, kindness and reassurance, we have both become so much better as people and our marriage and lives have never been more fulfilling.

I pray for you every day and thank God for you. I just want you to know that you are an incredible man and therapist. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

I went to see Dr Seimas for help with ocd. I needed to have a therapist who shared my Christian values and was experienced in ocd treatment and recovery. That is exactly who he is. Throughout my course of therapy he was caring, knowledgeable, and perhaps most of all encouraging that I could overcome my ocd and take my life back from the tormenting thoughts and obsessions. During the process I learned about ocd and how it works, along with strategies to diminish or eliminate the tormenting thoughts at their inception, with scientific truths against a Christian backdrop.
I am truly grateful for the help I received from him and would wholeheartedly endorse him to anyone struggling with ocd.
Blessings to you

I grew up in a happy, healthy family for my first 24 years. Then as an adult I have lived with, and amid, a dysfunctional, unhappy family for two decades. During those decades I worked with more than a dozen marriage & family therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, parenting experts, and counselors. Dr. Peter Seimas is THE BEST of all of these that I have met. While he describes himself professionally as a "Pastoral Counselor" with a particular emphasis on developing and maintaining healthy and happy relationships, successful personal habits, and Christian values, he is actually much more than this. He has deep understanding of psychology, adolescent development, marriage and family communication, parenting, grief, anger, depression and anxiety, cognitive behavioral science, sound financial planning and thinking about money, and the effects of personal habits and personal choices on long-term prosperity and mental wellness or illness.
Now for several years I have worked primarily with Dr. Seimas. He has helped me and my family members improve our relationships, recover from depression, anxiety, and emotional abuse handed down as inter-generational family trauma, and cope with or mitigate periodic mental illness. He has guided me and my family members toward healing in the context of our Christian values, but with the aid of the most effective psychological and therapeutic methods. He is almost unique in this regard: very few highly accomplished psychologists or conventional family therapists are comfortable or capable of discussing Christian values in therapy, because those professional fields are frequently isolated from or alienated from religion. But with Dr. Peter Seimas' help, I have integrated my faith values, my prayer life, and my Christian traditions as part of a powerful healing process that has greatly improved the quality of life and relationships for me and my family members.

Four members of my family have said in the past year,
We thank God for Dr. Peter Seimas. He saved our family.

If you are seeking help for marriage problems, adolescent parenting problems, personal problems including depression, anxiety, grief, unresolved anger, unhealthy habits or addictions, and if your Christian values are an important part of your life, I highly recommend that you contact Dr. Peter Seimas for help.

You probably will not find a better counselor for your needs.
