Dr. Joanne Peart, Ph.D.

My clients describe me as:

Empathic, yet gently challenging. A good clinician to do a deeper dive with. Consistently invested in the treatment.

Something to know about my approach is:

I aim to create a safe and supportive environment with well-established goals and active collaboration. My primary orientation is psychodynamic in nature, but I integrate cognitive and behavioral techniques when indicated.

Together, we will:

Clarify, understand, and ultimately work to change the problems and symptoms that prevent you from reaching your full potential. This way of working involves an exploration of aspects that are obvious to you, but also those that are not.

I specialize in working with people who:

Have long-standing difficulties and chronic feelings of unhappiness, struggle with emotional dysregulation, or have personality disorders. I help improve insight for those with ongoing interpersonal dissatisfaction or stuck in repetitive cycles.

I became a therapist because:

I was fascinated by the human condition and believe in the capacity for growth and change.

More about me and my practice:

I am a generalist, which allows me to work with a range of mental health diagnoses including mood disorders and anxiety disorders. In addition, I specialize in personality disorder treatment.
