Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Stay away at all costs
He’s just a bad person lol. I’ve never had a “therapist” that seemingly tried to make me feel worse for no reason. Disgusting he went into this line of work, but it looks like pretty much everyone who has tried him has recognized how horrible he is and ran as far in the other direction as possible.

Solid leader of a group and couple therapist
I was his patient in two different settings - one was a group for gay men and the other was couples therapy. In both cases he was utterly professional, supportive and always a good listener. I work in a related field and know many many therapists professionally and I would put him in the upper 10%. Not sure what bone to pick the reviewers who gave 1s have but they look like the same person.

A wonderful therapist!
I'm baffled by the negative reviews here! Peter Galvin was enormously helpful to me in coping with grief. He is extremely insightful and compassionate. I would recommend him without reservation.

This guy is a crook. He is just a therapist that gossips about others instead on focusing on me and my issues. I am so disappointed, waste of time and money. I did something to someone that is not cool and he totally encouraged bad behaviour. I found another therapist and she told me that this guy's license should be taken away.

Peter Galvin is very unprofessional. My feelings about the lockdown were really dismissed by him. As part of a political talking point. In a professional relationship where I am the patient my feelings should be considered and not dismissed. Therefore I feel he is really unprofessional in his ability to help me.
