  A terrific psychologist. Would recommend him to anyone. Warm, intelligent, funny, & wise. It’s easy to tell that he loves his job too.

  I've been seeing Dr. Peter Cousins for many years, but recent experiences have been disappointing. After an insurance change, he began charging $220 per session out of pocket. Despite the steep cost, I remained loyal and cut back on expenses at home to afford his care. He is a great doctor, in he listens and has good bed side manner; and I would recommend him to anyone but you can’t be late for any reason or you’ll be charged. (He has no showed my husband before and we didn’t get any compensation or an apology) Recently, I was delayed by an awful car accident on 45 and informed him immediately that I would be 15 minutes late. Rushing my family in traffic and desperately needing my appointment I was hopeful he would be understanding and not cut my appointment time. Instead of being understanding, he insisted I pay the full price for the remaining time in the slot and show up late. As a long-time patient, this treatment feels enraging. He has never extended my appointments so this was a first time occurrence, yet I am expected to pay full price despite unforeseen circumstances. (Mind you I pay out of pocket) It's disheartening to make personal sacrifices for a physician who doesn't reciprocate with basic human understanding.

  Dr. Cousins is a wonderful therapist. He is warm, observant, and non-judgemental. He provides evidence-based treatment that's known to work for your problem, while also flexibly working with your unique situation and needs. His 30+ years of experience really shows in his knowledge and skills. At the same time, he is humble and down-to-earth, with a great sense of humor. He helped me make meaningful changes that have improved my relationship with myself and with others. I strongly recommend him to anyone who wants to make a positive change to their life.

  This happened a year ago, but the encounter still haunts me to this day as I pursue my degree to become a social worker. I sought therapy to help equip me with tools and coping mechanisms through school. Blinded by the title of a PhD and price tag, I expected premium services. There was a discrepancy with the insurance, and he even offered to work with me. Then I sat in his chair and vented. No reflective listening, no validation, and no summary. I don't even know if he was listening. I expected him to be clinical, but he didn't even offer any potential tools for my goals. Second session: he completely forgot about the payment arrangement but told me I forgot. At the end of the session, he charged me for the current session and collected the rest for the last session. I had to walk to an ATM to pay him in cash. I was in tears the whole way. I just vented my life story to him and he metaphorically shook me like I was his ATM. He offered me no guidance for the future, and the majority of his feedback offered more of a bleak picture rather than anything insightful or useful. I didn't hurt anyone or do anything wrong, I was just struggling through school because of my ADHD. This sort of problem-based therapy reduces people to their problems rather than any strengths or solutions and I felt that. Instead, he used my own words against me. No remorse, no resources, just this $400 dragged out horrible experience that left a bad taste in my mouth for over priced PhD therapists. When I become a therapist, I vow to never treat anyone like this.

  Dr. Cousins is a really good doctor. Helped me better understand my situation, relieved my stress and never once made me feel hopeless. I would recommended people to come here. Very knowledgeable doctor.
