I currently have a private practice in both Albany, California (directly connected to North Berkeley), and in the San Francisco Mission District, where I see individuals and couples, and lead groups. I am a member of the Northern California Group Psychotherapy Society.
I also work with organizations (Kaiser, Tenderloin Health), have taught group dynamics at CIIS in San Francisco, and I lead workshops in the San Francisco Bay Area, Denmark and Holland, Norway, & Switzerland.

The people who contact me for anger management are typically good, well-intentioned people who have had an incident or incidents that reveal that they have difficulty containing anger.

I have more than twenty years successful experience helping couples and individuals restore their sense of connection and relationship vitality. I help you see that it is not your fault, but rather a consequence of the power of the cycle that grips you. You will learn about the roots of the cycle learned in early relationships, but not dwell there.
I specialize in creating a unique environment for men's personal growth. Men's psychology acknowledges that men have a unique journey that benefits from a unique setting. Men often feel under-appreciated for their passion to engage the world through creativity, work and in relationships. Men long to be a part of something larger and often feel isolated and left out of community.

If you're like me, when you first meet Peter Bernhardt, you'll know right away that he's a top-notch guy as well as a deeply compassionate and effective therapist.
Peter helps his clients deal with anger, and decrease their stress and anxiety. When clients feel better, they're more able to really "show up" for their lives and relationships.
In this time when men are often feeling disconnected, Peter's men’s groups help guys feel less isolated and become more self confident.
With nearly 3 decades of experience, Peter, also knows what he's doing when helping couples communicate effectively.
