Welcome! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Michigan with advanced credentials as a Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor and a Certified Clinical Supervisor.

We will work together to outline your treatment goals and the approach that will bring the most success. If you are ready to take the next steps in your healing and life journey, I would be honored to support you.

I have a number of years providing personal and career counseling both individually and in groups. I like to help people distinguish between problems they can solve from those with which they have to adjust. I try to help people identify as many ways as possible to solve problems, but I do not select which alternative(s) would work best - they do. I also try to help clients set priorities by identifying which concerns need immediate attention (acute) versus which concerns are ongoing (chronic). I've worked with inner-city Detroit clients as well as those from suburbia. I have taught counseling courses at Oakland University, Shippensburg University, University of Detroit, and University of Phoenix. I have a Master's degree in Counseling from Wayne State University and a Ph.D degree in Counseling from the University of Michigan. My name is Peter Wolf and I look forward to meeting you!
