Peter Goeden, LCPC

Peter Goeden is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maryland with 28 years of experience. He works with people facing family problems, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related concerns, and major life changes. He also addresses issues such as codependency, attachment and abandonment worries, communication and control problems, and struggles around fatherhood, separation, addiction, guilt, and shame.

He uses a holistic psychotherapy approach that aims to activate each person's natural capacity for growth. Sessions focus on strengthening identity and personal resources. He helps people move from fear toward greater trust and clarity about relationship patterns.

In practical terms Peter talks through current problems, patterns, and reactions. He encourages clearer communication and more reliable boundaries. He also works on rebuilding trust in relationships and recovering from loss or betrayal.

Peter trained at Appalachian State University with a Master of Science in Counseling and completed a post-graduate certificate in clinical counseling at Johns Hopkins University. He practices in Maryland as an LCPC and draws on decades of client work to guide how he responds in sessions.

People who come to him often want straightforward conversation and steady focus on changing repeated patterns. He invites clients to look at how personal experience, family of origin, and coping strategies shape choices now. The emphasis is on practical steps to increase self-direction and clearer relationships.
