Peter D Yeomans

Peter Yeomans, Ph.D., M.Ed., is a licensed clinical psychologist who has provided therapy to countless civilians and veterans struggling with the effects of traumatic experiences or other major life events. Some were also struggling with addiction. He is well versed in the most effective psychotherapy models for PTSD, anxiety, depression, substance use, and uses a humanistic and strengths-based approach in which psychological distress may be seen as a marker of conscience and of moral values, rather than only as a psychological problem in need of treatment.

He earned his Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Drexel University and completed his Clinical Psychology internship and postdoctoral fellowship at the San Francisco VA Medical Center. He works full-time leading a team of twelve clinicians in the PTSD outpatient team at the Corporal Michael J. Crescenz VA Medical Center in Philadelphia. He has presented on the treatment of PTSD and moral injury at national conferences and have been interviewed by local and national media on these topics.

Dr. Yeomans has provided care to military officers and enlisted, veterans of Special Forces, SEALs, Army Rangers, and members of mortuary affairs. He has provided care to State Department and other government agency employees who have served domestically and overseas in challenging assignments, as well as to military veterans who later went to work in government or in emergency services such as firefighters, paramedics, and law enforcement. Many of his clients have chosen careers of public service and assume risk on the behalf of the public. They often carry the burden of those experiences alone.
