About Peter

Peter Juskalian earned his Master of Science in Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from University of Dayton. He specializes in working with families, couples, and individuals seeking deeper emotional clarity, stronger relationships, and lasting personal growth, with a particular focus on families experiencing ongoing relational distress, chronic conflict, communication breakdowns, and complex emotional dynamics.

Known for his warm yet direct style, Peter creates a therapeutic environment that is both deeply supportive and thoughtfully challenging. He helps clients and families slow down destructive interaction cycles, strengthen emotional regulation, improve communication, and develop healthier, more stable ways of relating to one another. His approach balances compassion with accountability, creating space for honest conversations and practical, sustainable change.

Peter is extensively trained in the Gottman Method and integrates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Motivational Interviewing, and emotionally focused approaches to help clients move beyond repetitive patterns and toward more meaningful connections and emotional healing. His work is especially informed by supporting families navigating persistent tension, co-parenting struggles, emotional reactivity, estrangement, and longstanding relational wounds.
 
Peter works with families, couples, and individuals who value intentional, high-quality care and are looking for therapy that is both relationally grounded and clinically sophisticated. Having spent much of his formative years in Russia, he is deeply familiar with both Russian and American cultural dynamics. As a fluent Russian speaker, he offers counseling services in both English and Russian, allowing clients to engage in therapy in the language that feels most natural and meaningful to them.
 
Peter is on the following insurance panels: OhioHealthy Optima, Cigna, Aetna, Ohio Health Connect, and some Medical Mutual plans and can also provide clients with an insurance receipt for services out of network services.

What Our Counseling & Coaching Clients Say...

Overall Rating 5, 10 reviews on Google

I’ve gone through several counselors and was about ready to give up when a friend referred me to one of the counselors here. My life has truly changed as a result of the help I received. Don’t give up…not all counseling is the same. I just wish I would have called them years ago. The investment I made in myself was well worth every penny.

I met with Brian off and on for about 8 years. Great experience and he helped me develop the mental, emotional and spiritual tools I needed to succeed in life. He also helped me see my relationship with others from a very different perspective. Great experience and he’s been a great counselor through the years.
