Connect with Andrea Peterson

I create a nurturing environment for clients through genuine compassion, patience, and open-mindedness. My style is kind and warm, infused with creativity, mindfulness, and a sense of humor. As a therapist and previous educator, I have extensive experience supporting individuals of varying abilities, identities, and neurotypes. Curiosity is my driving force, and I love witnessing and honoring client's stories. As your therapist, I’ll hold space for you to explore challenges you're experiencing, express your vulnerabilities, and tap into your innate strengths.
Clients often work with me to process relationship/social challenges, past traumatic experiences, neurodivergence, and life transitions. I have a particular passion for addressing root issues through a trauma-informed lens, with interventions I'm trained in such as EMDR and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART).
Ultimately, I strive for clients to feel as though they are heard, that their presence matters, and that they can develop positive change in their lives. If you feel as though we would be a good fit, please feel free to reach out.
