Dr. Pelz is wonderful at his job. Not only does he take great care in trying to address the problems clients think they need help with, he works to determine the underlying cause. I came in with one problem, and he helped me work on the problems that were causing it as well. He is a quick-witted individual, and very trustworthy.
Dr. Pelz is empathetic, personal, and genuinely cares about the needs and concerns of his clients. He always made me feel like he was there for me, and he consistently worked to make me feel important and like he cared about making sure that I felt like I was getting what I needed out of visits. When I was skeptical, he gave me research from multiple sources. When I was upset, he brought my favorite kind of candy to make things easier. He is incredibly supportive, and never speaks in a condescending manner.
While he is very patient, he also won’t put up with B.S.- he’s the first psychologist who I haven’t been able to talk around and distract. If you are looking for someone who will work with you, who will make you get your money’s worth out of the visit, and whose sense of humor will make even the harder discussions more bearable, consider Dr. Pelz. Before working with him, I worked with two other psychologists who made me think that there was no point in the field because they didn’t help me at all. Though it took me a few visits to believe that anything was progressing, working with Dr. Pelz gave me the vocabulary to discuss my problems, as well as the tools and confidence to continue working on them. I’ve recommended Dr. Pelz to my friends, and I am happy to recommend him to anyone else looking for a psychologist they can trust who will work with and for them.
