Peter Berg

Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), MDiv

I pledge to be a dedicated student of how you experience and shape your world.

Our work together is a journey of mutual discovery. We’ll explore how you relate to yourself and how you co-create your relationships with others.

We all have areas where we thrive — ways of relating to ourselves and the world that feel strong and healthy. But we also have places where we get stuck, sometimes over and over again. Often, it’s this very sense of being stuck that brings someone to therapy, along with the quiet question: “Why can’t I seem to get past this?”

Grief can also bring someone to therapy — a deep sadness that longs for understanding and companionship.

Whether you’re feeling stuck, grieving, or both, we’ll work together to understand and tend to those experiences. We’ll look for meaning in the hard places while soothing the wounds that can feel overwhelming.

Ultimately, my goal is to help you deepen your connection with yourself and the world around you. By sitting together intentionally with life’s painful places, my experience and trust in the process tell me that healing and growth will emerge.

Education

During my Master of Divinity in Clinical Counselling at Tyndale University, I focused on trauma, grief, and attachment—three experiences that, when explored together, offer profound insight into the nature of our pain and the possibility of healing. I continue to be shaped by Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), which offers a compassionate and effective framework for moving through suffering toward connection and healing.

My undergraduate studies at Carleton University were rooted in the humanities, where I explored philosophy, religion, literature, art, and history. That early love for holding multiple perspectives in tension and harmony continues to inform my approach as a therapist.

In my ongoing work, I integrate neuroscience, trauma-informed care, personality theory, family systems theory, various traditions of psychotherapy, and Christian spirituality.
