Great to meet you!

Hello, my name is Tamera Peterson, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have over 15 years of experience working with individuals and families in community-based settings as a counselor, crisis therapist, and working with individuals living with intellectual and developmental disabilities. I also have experience working with adults, teens, and adolescents who've experienced trauma, relationship issues, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and dual diagnosis. I believe wholeheartedly in the mind, body, and soul connection.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My style is informal, warm, conversational, and authentic. I use Solution Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. Therapy is a healing experience that can transform your confidence, your relationships, and your life. My goal is to provide an open-minded, strength-based, trauma-informed, and client-centered environment.
