Marlana Peterson

You don’t have to keep repeating the same painful patterns. As a licensed trauma and addiction therapist, I help individuals uncover the emotional wounds and subconscious beliefs that drive anxiety, depression, and self-defeating behaviors. Healing begins when we understand—not judge—why we do what we do.

I specialize in trauma recovery, addiction treatment, and emotional regulation, helping clients build healthier relationships with themselves and others. Whether you’re navigating PTSD, anxiety, codependency, or recovery from substance use, my goal is to help you move from survival mode into authentic healing and growth.

My approach is trauma-informed and evidence-based, drawing from CBT, IFS, Schema therapy, mindfulness, and attachment-focused therapy. Clients often say my style is warm, grounded, and nonjudgmental—I meet you where you are while helping you uncover the patterns keeping you stuck.

If you’re ready to heal from the inside out and create lasting change, let’s begin that process together. Therapy can be a place where you reclaim safety, self-worth, and hope.

Client can expect to receive psycho education about my clinical approach, practicing treatment modalities and how they will be applied therapeutically to achieve client's goals. The initial session begins with completing a biopsychosocial assessment and genogram. In the therapeutic environment the following is established; safety for sensitive disclosure, rapport, and positive regard for every client's life experience.
