Counseling for the Next Generation of Doctors
Online Counseling for Ohio’s
Medical Trainees
Medical training is demanding—long hours, high stakes, and constant pressure to get everything right. You’re expected to stay composed, keep pushing, and “fake it ‘til you make it,” even when you’re running on empty.
It can feel like everyone else has it together while you’re barely keeping up. You encourage your patients to seek counseling when they need support—but when it comes to you, reaching out can feel intimidating. Maybe you’ve even talked yourself out of counseling a few times.
You might be wondering:
Will this actually help?
Will my clinician understand medical culture?
Will this be confidential?
Will it affect my licensing?
Do I even have time for this?
If you’ve had those thoughts, you’re not alone. A Place to Talk Counseling was created with you—and these exact concerns—in mind.
Whether you are seeking general mental health support or targeted skills to navigate specific challenges related to medical training, you are in the right place. You deserve a clinician who understands medical culture and the unique needs of medical trainees.
My name is Dr. Dannel Petgrave, and I’m a licensed clinical psychologist who helps medical trainees handle psychological barriers (e.g., unhelpful thoughts and distressing feelings) and difficult situations that get in the way of them living the life they want to live.
If you’re seeking greater work-life balance, better relationships, and practical tools to handle difficult thoughts and feelings, schedule a free 15-minute consult today!
