Peter Bush, LPC

Pete Bush is a Licensed Professional Counselor located in Blackshear, Georgia. He earned his Master of Science in Clinical/Counseling Psychology from Valdosta State University and has been working in the behavioral health field for more than seven years. Licensed in Georgia since 2022, Pete brings experience in community mental health, program management, and private practice.

Pete integrates existential therapy, CBT/REBT, DBT skills, and Stoic philosophy to help clients work through challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, and struggles with meaning and purpose. His therapeutic philosophy, “Arch Theory,” emphasizes choice, responsibility, and validation of the client’s lived experience. Pete’s goal is not just to help clients feel better but to support them in actually getting better.

Outside of counseling, Pete has been married to his wife for 33 years, and together they have raised three grown sons. He enjoys traveling and eating good food, and in his spare time he can often be found reading, writing, and editing—and then, for good measure, doing some more editing.
