Greetings,
I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with an earned Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology and Doctoral Degree in Educational Psychology. I've worked in a variety of professional settings to include: Law Enforcement, Academia, and Military environments. My education and work experience has developed within me a professional value system founded on a strong belief and adherence to the principles of Multiculturalism, Empathy, and Fairness!

A very unique characteristic about my counseling approach is "Purpose" derived from the firm belief in my counseling practice being my "Life's Purpose" as oppose to a simple career, job, or temporary employment. I take the concerns of my clients very seriously; thereby, placing client concerns at the highest priority level... and to be treated with the utmost consideration and respect. In other words, "YOU ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO ME". And my clients will never be made to feel as if their life's challenges are unnoticed or insignificant!

My Mental Health motto simply states "I'm okay when you're okay". To help us get to the destination of being okay, Brief Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy are my preferred methods of treatment intervention. In conjunction with the aforementioned interventions, Active Listening, Clarification Questions, and Empathy will be frequently utilized counseling skills to help in identifying your concerns, aspirations, and strategies for helping you reach your immediate and long-term goals! In as much, please always remember, "I AM HERE FOR YOU"!

I enjoy my conversations with Dr. Petty and our problem solving together.

Not only am I being heard but I am being understood. It’s like he’s is helping me mold the key to open a door that I’ve never been able to unlock.

Dr. Petty is caring, compassionate and highly competent. Very happy with his therapy!

Doc is a fantastic listener and counselor. He has made a difference in my life with dealing with and handling concerns that seem to over whelm me. He has a great way of bringing transformation.

 Mar 24, 2022 by L.A. 
I think he’s really good at what he does and I look forward to working with him .

 Mar 10, 2022 by S.H. 
Dr. Petty has been a great blessing. He has genuine empathy and compassion for me and I feel safe and confident in his presence. I appreciate his understanding of my challenges and his willingness to be who I need, as well as to challenge me. Everyone needs a Dr. Petty in their life - the world would be a much happier and kinder place!

It has been an amazing experience with dr. Petty he has spent time with me. I feel like I can really get things done with setting myself goals, understanding myself and finding my purpose. I have improved

 Jan 10, 2022 by D.O. 
Just amazing. He encourages, supports, helps me with my emotions, understands what I'm going through, and the best part is that he follows up and checks on me regularly, by sending amazing topics to read that will help me on days that I'm feeling down.

Dr. Petty is impeccable! He shares spot on, brilliant, break-through insights and shows care beyond belief. He is absolutely amazing, candid, and a gift that I cherish deeply ❤️

Dr. Petty is excellent. He is great at striking a balance between empathy and accountability. I strongly recommend his services.

 Nov 17, 2021 by B.R. 
A great guide through challenge and growth.

 Oct 21, 2021 by E.L. 
Dr. Petty has been great! I was a little worried about seeking therapy for my concern as it was nothing major but he made me feel so comfortable and although i don’t have huge issues I actually love therapy !

 Oct 08, 2021 by B.I. 
It’s only the start but I do like Docs approach. My live counseling in the past was really not very productive with no real direction. Just writing checks with no end. CBT seems to be more goal oriented and not dwell too much on the past we can’t change. Look to a brighter future!

 Sep 22, 2021 by W.Y. 
He is a very smart man that try’s to tap in to deep seeded problems without making you feel bad about them he helps you do more than just talk about it he helps you understand . You don’t get lucky too often like this he is a good man and I’m lucky to have the pleasure tackling these issues with someone who won’t sugar coat shit

 Sep 09, 2021 by A.L. 
Very warm and understanding person:)

 Sep 07, 2021 by R.I. 
Dr. Petty is the first counselor I’ve ever worked with who makes me feel like he actually cares about me. Like, really cares about me.

 Sep 04, 2021 by P.H. 
First time to counseling I would not continue without Dr. Petty, he is all the difference

 Aug 27, 2021 by L.A. 
Very caring and attentive.
