Hello, I’m Anna Peterson(she/her/hers). I’m so glad you are here and I’m excited to be part of your life and positive change. I’ve been counseling for over10 years and have been honored to work with all stages of life and concerns. I spent a good portion of my career working with children and families exclusively and now also spend time working with adult individuals struggling with anxiety and depressive symptoms.
I believe we can experience emotional distress when our values don’t match up with our current thoughts and behaviors and I want to support you in aligning you in pursuit of your values for a more content life. I utilize Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, as well as use family systems to support processing of previous trauma and helping you create more healthy thought and behavior patterns.
In our first session, you should expect me to ask questions to get to know you and spending time processing why you've sought therapy at this time. If time allows we will also try to narrow down some goals you have for our time working together.
