About

Do you feel stuck? Struggling to better your relationships with others and/or with yourself, yet finding yourself repeatedly experiencing frustration and disappointment? I am a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and my passion is helping people overcome self-limiting thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors. I have worked in many mental health settings with problems ranging from severe mental illness to problems of adjustment, and I draw from my training and experience to be creative in helping my clients work through challenges. I enjoy helping individuals, couples, and families identify what is most important to them and helping them find solutions that they feel enthusiastic about using to better their lives. My areas of expertise include healthy communication and men's issues.

    He is patient and understanding. He also seems to be very experienced and was able to see the root of the problem very early into the session.

    From the start of our session Mr. Peter gave his undivided attention. He made sure he understood what I was saying and if he felt like he missed something he asked for me to repeat it. I feel like he is the right match for me and I look forward to working with him.

    I like that Mr. Fischetti is a great listener and "hears" what I'm saying. His feedback and question helps me to think further into my future towards a path of my choosing with great thought. He asks challenging questions to help me consider things I may not have done otherwise. I appreciate his nice calm demeanor and his genuine concerns.

    Peter is more than a therapist, he is human just like me and makes me recognize we all need the same care, we all go through our problems but most importantly; where there may be a problem, there is a solution just waiting to happen. If people need a therapist, he’s one of the best.
