5200 Willson Road Suite 307 Edina, MN 55424
Fall 2026 openings for individual therapy locally in my Edina office and virtually throughout MN. I'm a seasoned therapist of 18 years and work with adults of all ages who want help and guidance with sexual health & desires, relationship crossroads, prenatal/postpartum difficulties, parenting struggles, disordered eating, and substance use concerns. I have a lot of curiosity and want to know what it is you find meaningful in your life and relationships. By doing this, I can help you identify the ways to align with your values through awareness of unhelpful patterns and encourage incremental changes through intentions and processing.
I am an AASECT certified sex therapist with extensive scientifically-backed trainings and experiences in the other areas in which I specialize. I provide both education and sensitivity so that we can explore your values, obstacles, sexuality, family history and dynamics, and commitment to making meaningful changes in your life and relationships.
I bring a warm, curious, genuine, and practical approach to therapy. Collaboration, skill building, coaching, reflection, respectful challenging, and laughter are at the core of our therapy. It can absolutely get better. Please feel free to reach out to schedule an initial free 15 minute virtual consultation if you're interested in working with me.
Call or Erin C Peterson now for a free 15 minute consultation - (952) 856-3786

I approach therapy with two concepts in mind: where might this behavior come from and what must you do to change it? Reflecting on what's shaped you, what's reinforced your behaviors, and the values you want to live by are central to our therapy together. I use Acceptance & Commitment Therapy combined with psychodynamic exploration to expand your understanding and abilities of what you can change.
