Craig Pelka

My clients describe me as:

warm, conversational, open, validating, welcoming, thoughtful, funny, kind. I believe therapy can be both challenging and fun; I encourage humor.

Something to know about my approach is:

I strive for therapy with me to be conversational, safe, and nonjudgmental so we can address challenging and sometimes uncomfortable concerns and experiences (as well as topics that spark excitement, possibility, and hope!).

Together, we will:

build up strengths and add new strategies/resources to help you navigate experiences (such as life and relational changes, stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, sex, sexuality, addictive behaviors, boundaries, expectations, trauma, grief).

I specialize in working with people who:

are emerging and young adults (teens into 40s), and primarily guys/men and male/masc-presenting folx/AMAB.

I became a therapist because:

of my own personal journey growing and challenging myself, with therapy being one helpful tool in that process (still is!, and probably always will).
