Peter Jones Ed.D, LMFT is a seasoned couples therapist and consultant with expertise in designing and redesigning interpersonal interaction and communications systems. He has thirty years' experience diagnosing and formulating solutions to interactional challenges, including fifteen teaching college and graduate students methods for analyzing and improving communication. His doctorate in applied linguistics (2010) focused on how adults can use interaction to learn to speak & listen differently.

​

In 2015 Peter began training with the Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy (PACT) Institute, seeking to expand his understanding of interaction by linking it to family systems, developmental neuroscience and attachment theory. Concurrently he trained for five years in Body-Centered (Gestalt) Psychotherapy at the Hartford Family Institute and completed an additional degree specializing in couples therapy.

​

Peter's specialty is understanding the body-brain-mind basis to couples' communication and interactional impasses and designing solutions that allow couples to move through them successfully.

​
