Hello, my name is Dr. Pete Martucci and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, currently working in the state of Minnesota. I have been a practicing counselor for 9 years and I have worked in the mental health field for over 10 years. I hold a PhD in Counselor Education, with expertise in counselor training, supervision, and professional development. I also specialize in crisis and trauma. I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Counselor as well as a Disaster Mental Health Counselor and an Approved Clinical Supervisor. I have spent the bulk of my career studying the impact of trauma and how it can direct our thoughts and behaviors. I have worked with individuals across a broad spectrum of mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety, panic disorders, personality disorders, mood disorders, relationship difficulties, body image, self-esteem concerns, addiction and other life challenges.
My therapeutic/counseling style is rooted in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy. I believe it is an empowering framework that assists clients in recognizing and treating their mental health concerns, by challenging the way we think and how we act on those thoughts. I also will challenge you to move outside of your comfort areas and address those discomforts. In addition to CBT, I practice through a Solution-Focused approach that is helpful in addressing life challenges and stressors. I want you to feel comfortable in our work together and because of that I treat all individuals with respect, kindness and removed of any judgment.
It takes great courage to ask for help and I am grateful for the opportunity to work with you as you move forward on this journey to a healthier life and mind. I believe the work we do together, is a collaborative process and I will assist you to learn, grow, and make positive changes that can result in a more fulfilling life.
I look forward to hearing from you and beginning our work together.

I love how my therapist gets right to the point and offers me what I need to talk about and get off my chest and listens and recommends solutions
Written on Sep 19, 2025 after therapy with Pietro (Pete) for 3 months on issues concerning relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, parenting issues, anger management, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and adhd
Pete is good at listening to what you want to talk about. He pulls questions from that information to get you to think about the situation in a different way. If you feel stuck on what to talk about next he always seems to have a question that can ignite more feelings or conversation to keep the session going. So far, I have been satisfied with my experience and only wish that the sessions could go longer at times.

Pietro makes me feel the light that I seek within myself. We first chatted in 2022, and recently got back online.

Pete has been fantastic at understanding my day to day, being courteous to my brain, and making sure I’m heard. He also pushes back and challenges me to think.
Written on Sep 14, 2023 after therapy with Pietro (Pete) for 2 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, self esteem, and adhd
I hate to make this short and sweet, because it would undersell Peter's abilities. To summarize it up, he is amazing at really providing a different perspective, where in the past therapists have really not provided that service. He is right in there to offer a different way of looking at the issue, while knowing the underlying issues, he utilizes that information, when asking for feedback or guiding me to a different way of thinking. Highly recommend Peter.

Pete has been a very welcomed bright spot in my life. He is a great listener but knows how to pick his places to push back or offer his alternate point of view. He is a master of his craft, consistently referencing scholarly concepts on the spot. He really cares about our time together and has helped me make significant progress, opening my eyes to a different way of life. I am lucky to have found him.

Pete is excellent! He really listens and pulls from a plethora of knowledge and experience on his end. We've had many great conversations and some challenging ones. The challenging ones are often because Pete knows the right questions or asks or issues to uncover, even if my subconscious doesn't want to. Truly made a difference in my life and my relationship with anxiety.

Pete is fantastic, flexible and is laser focused on what the root of the issue is. However, he doesn't assist in rooting out the deep issue, he also provides practical techniques that allow me to manage what comes up.

I started therapy with Pete at a very low point in my life and one filled with so many transitions. I enjoyed working with Pete because he allowed me to express myself without judgment. Pete also helped me understand the impact that my previous trauma was having on my current relationships, thinking, and how I was showing up. He also gave me tips and tools for addressing my challenges more effectively. While working with Pete, I was better able to set boundaries and improve my relationships with others. Pete is a very understanding, caring, and effective therapist! I couldn't recommend Pete enough!

Pete is a great therapist. He really listens and knows when to get quiet even if I interrupt him! It is helpful to me that he is very willing to offer an assessment or reframe of the situation and give me helpful tips and role playing exercises to figure out how to change my own thinking and behavior. In other words, he helps me figure it out, unlike other styles of therapy that may only listen and expect the client to figure it out for themselves. Thanks Pete!

Pete has been an incredible gift in my life, helping me navigate the most challenging situations I have ever experienced. He has a way of helping me identify what I'm feeling or what I'm struggling with even when I have a hard time figuring it out myself. He challenges me in a really productive and healthy way and helps get me "unstuck" in anxious/irrational thought cycles. I am grateful every day for his wisdom and guidance and help through this really challenging time.

Pete is exactly what I was looking for when I came to therapy. He doesn't mess around. He cuts straight to what's really going on. I've had counselors that kinda let you talk and nod, but I hate that. Pete's style is so much more effective for me, as someone who thrives on direct feedback. I really appreciate him and have made amazing progress quickly.

Pete has been such a big help in realizing my patterns and behaviors. He has challenged me in ways that other therapists have not, and he doesn’t stray away from uncomfortable conversations.
