Dr. Brian D. Petrovich
I am a board-certified clinical licensed Psychologist with a broad knowledge of psychological problems and issues. Therapy approach comes from training at the Forest Institute of Professional Psychology and the Alfred Adler Institute. A primary focus of my current practice is providing individual testing/evaluations that fit each unique person and situation. I subscribe to using evidenced-based therapy with a philosophy of accepting individuals for who they are and where they are in life. The goals of therapy are to guide patients to overcome psychological obstacles while meeting their personal goals, aspirations, and expectations.
As part of my military service in the Army and Air Force, I understand the unique nature of military life and can assist in adjusting and working through the unique military environment. Further, I utilize Cognitive Processing Therapy, an evidence-based treatment for PTSD and have found it to be one of the most effective treatments to reduce the symptoms of PTSD.
