Therapy for the Next Generation of Doctors
Online Therapy for Ohio’s Medical Students, Medical Residents, and Medical Fellows
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 therapy when they need support—but when it comes to you, reaching out can feel intimidating. Maybe you’ve even talked yourself out of therapy 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 school, medical residency, or medical fellowship, you are in the right place. You deserve a clinician who understands medical culture and the unique needs of medical students, medical residents, and medical fellows.
My name is Dr. Dannel Petgrave, and I’m a licensed clinical psychologist who helps medical students, medical residents, and medical fellows 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 a medical student, medical resident, or medical fellow seeking greater work-life balance, better relationships, and practical tools to handle difficult thoughts and feelings, schedule an appointment today!
