Peter Wohlwend is a licensed
marriage and family therapist who earned his M.Div. in Clinical
Pastoral Psychology from Duke University and completed clinical
training in Houston Texas. He has practiced therapy in Greensboro
for 30 years.
Throughout his career, Peter has been professionally involved
with a wide variety of community agencies. He served as the
Chair of the Child and Family Psychotherapy Unit of the Guilford
County Department of Mental Health and has worked with the Mental
Health Association, the Family Life Council, the Focus Program
for men through Turning Point, to name a few. Peter is well
known as a speaker and workshop presenter. He is personally
active in the men’s movement and is a founding member
of the Triad Men’s Council.
Peter’s approach to therapy is based on his belief that
our culture and its pace uproot people from traditional support
systems—extended families, neighborhoods, communities
and sense of self—and leaves us vulnerable to problems
that express themselves in symptoms of depression, anxiety,
anger, stress, etc. He feels that solutions to these problems
can be found by working in an atmosphere of positive regard
and mindfulness to determine the meaning of the symptoms and
to re-establish contact with our organic selves.
Peter enjoys working with people in the context of their individual
lives, their marriages/families, and other relationships to
facilitate their search for workable and meaningful solutions
