Welcome to Dr. Peter Lauber’s Counseling Site
Have you been struggling with getting through the day, getting up in the morning, taking care of yourself, others or your home? Are you battling depression?
Are you often stressed out, angry, worried, or impatient? Struggling with anxiety?
Are you frequently experiencing conflicts in your family? Arguments with your spouse? Problems with your children? Are you thinking about marriage or family counseling?
If you could use some support while finding your way through these situations, I’d like to offer my help.
As a Therapist who is a Christian, I view people as having been created in the image of God and gaining worth and value in relationship to their Creator. This is the core of who I am as a person and how I view the problems that people bring to the counseling relationship. It also motivates me to want to help people work through the problems and issues that have complicated their lives. However, I place a high value on the right of self determination in allowing people to set their own goals and to live in accordance with their own values and life style. I do not believe that it is ever appropriate to use therapy to manipulate someone into changing their world and life view.
I have 40 years of experience in a variety of professional settings including hospitals, mental health clinics, schools, college teaching, and churches where I spent 13 years in pastoral care ministry. I have been married for 43 years and am the father of 2 and grandfather of 6. I enjoy a variety of outdoor activities, travel, spending time with my family, and working on domestic and foreign short term mission projects.
