Peter Frankel

Thanks for your interest in the Living Well team.  

My name is Peter Frankel, and I am a therapist here in Evanston. Previously, I worked in wilderness therapy, residential camping, and marketing.  I have a Masters Degree in Mindfulness Based Transpersonal Psychotherapy from Naropa University in Boulder, CO. I believe strongly in the client-centered model.  That means that as a client, I will meet you where you are and together we will explore the path forward.  Through this work, we will find growth and opportunity in your life.

Our work involves discovering how you feel, exploring the reasoning behind it and learning ways to manage it.  I believe that together we can achieve much more than we can independently.  I like setting goals and working towards fulfillment.  If you are interested in change, I am interested in working with you. 

The journey to mental health is fluid and often includes periods of powerful emotions. These feelings will shift and on the other side, you will discover a new normal that is fulfilling, inspiring and adventurous. 

My specialisms include Anxiety and Depression, Divorce and other life transitions, 12-step work, end of life work and Grief.  I work with clients ages 15+ and have worked with couples and families in both clinical and wilderness settings.  The use of non-violent communication is foundational for my work and I believe it can unlock connection in struggling relationships.  If you happen to speak Swedish, me too!  Let’s have a chat.  I am humbled by the opportunity to join you on your journey.  Let’s find time to connect and see if I can be the right fit for you.
