To be nobody–but–yourself — in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else — means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight.   e.e. cummings …to which I add “and never stop fighting.”

Meet Peggy Phipps

Your Private, Safe Therapeutic Environment

I created my private practice to provide personalized, client-centered care that supports your unique journey. I believe you already have the strength and ability to shape the life you want. My role is to help you tap into your resilience, break free from self-defeating patterns, and move toward a more fulfilling, authentic life.

I use a range of therapeutic approaches rooted in mind-body-spirit healing, including traditional talk therapy and somatic techniques like Brainspotting. These methods help clear internal barriers by leveraging the brain and body’s natural ability to adapt and heal. True therapy is more than symptom management—it’s about realigning with your authentic self and finding greater ease in daily life.

Therapy reflects the way you engage with the world. If you struggle to speak up, you’ll learn to find your voice here. Because lasting change takes commitment, I encourage writing and other reflective practices to deepen your self-awareness and growth.

We typically start with weekly sessions, then transition to bi-weekly as you gain confidence in applying what you’ve learned. Over time, we may move to monthly or as-needed support. Your therapy process will evolve, always tailored to your needs.

More About Me

My approach is grounded in presence, compassion, and curiosity. I aim to see and accept you fully—your story, your perspective, and your truth—without judgment. Building this kind of connection takes time, and that’s okay.

Together, we’ll explore how your past may be shaping your present emotions, behaviors, and thought patterns. Often, these patterns are rooted in early attachment experiences—not to assign blame, but to bring understanding and clarity.

I work best with clients who are seeking some kind of transition—whether personal, professional, creative, spiritual, or existential. You may be a student, a professional, a creative thinker, or someone yearning to live more truthfully. What you share is a willingness to open your mind and heart.

My goal is to help you know yourself so deeply that authenticity becomes natural—where speaking your truth isn’t effortful, but organic. This is where real, lasting change happens.

And it all begins in the present moment—because this is where real joy, growth, and healing are found.

Now I realized that I’ve been walking around with my eyes closed.  I’m seeing the world for the first time…I feel liberated — ( after BrainSpotting )

— Lisa M.

I realized in the days after the BrainSpotting, that I felt better. I didn’t TRY to feel better it just happened.  It was like a weight was lifted off my shoulders.  I’ve been feeling more relaxed.

— John S.

I can’t believe how much my view of myself was dependent on how my family saw me (still as a child).   It’s taken 40 years and a few ( months of ) therapy sessions , but I am finally beginning to see myself as a competent, successful, happy woman.  As I respect my Self more, my family is seeing me differently and they are treating me with more respect.

— Allison C.
