My office is 5 min. out of Bend by Tumalo Coffee House--a comfy place with table & wall space to do big things, cushy sofas, lots of plants & room for 2 to 25 people to meet.

I am currently taking CSWA licensees in the beautiful Central Oregon and surrounding areas. I had some wonderful LCSW supervisors in my career , and want to give back!

I see my role as that of a trained guide whose job is to help clients notice, interpret and work with whatever they encounter on their own unique path of change. My intention is to create a safe, open and supportive space for clients to explore, gain new perspectives and to help empower in the process of reflection, growth and healing.

**ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS** I'm passionate about helping my clients live their best, most authentic and meaningful lives. I believe that everyone can benefit from questioning old patterns and ways of thinking that may feel instead, like absolute ways of being.

I offer Telehealth and in person counseling sessions. I have 25 years of mental health and addiction experience working with children, teenagers, couples, adults, and families. I use a Family Systems approach to treatment including a variety of modalities with special focus on teaching the art of mindfulness called dialectical behavioral therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy. I have successfully helped clients to resolve serious life problems, return to optimal functioning, meet personal and career goals, improve many intimate relationships, and to help persons to build new life skills necessary for self improvement.

It is my passion to walk with individuals, and families, during their most troubling times, guiding each client as they find strength and hope on their journey towards healing.

Are you transitioning into a new chapter of your life? Do you feel as though there is too much going on in your life? I believe that change is an inevitable part of the shared human experience. Although change is inevitable, everyone's process to change is different. Thus, I believe in a holistic approach to mental health treatment, with the integration of awareness within the mind and the body, tailored to the needs of my clients.

*We are not currently accepting new clients. New Priorities Family Services is a non-profit Mental Health and Alcohol and Drug Outpatient Treatment Program locally operated by dedicated staff and clinicians in Redmond, Oregon. Our organization is dedicated to the rights of children, adolescents and adults to grow and develop as healthy, happy, successful and contributing individuals

When pain lingers long enough or becomes greater than our ability to keep going, we finally become willing to do whatever it takes to get relief. Psychological and emotional distress affects our sleep, eating behaviors, use of alcohol and other drugs, our well-being, and our ability to function at home, work, and in our relationships. We're often left with fear, anxiety, anger, frustration, confusion, depression, self-doubt, failure, hopelessness, and even total despair.

As a Mental Health Counselor, I have specific experience working with eating disorders. I have worked with clients in both higher levels of care and outpatient settings. Many people know that they want change, but they are unsure how to make that change a reality, and that's where our work comes in. In addition, our sessions will focus on the whole person, which includes discussing areas involving: anxiety, depression, family and relational dynamics, self-defeating behaviors, and other challenges that might be making it difficult for you to reach your goals.

Bereavement, suicide loss, loss of a pet, life transitions, difficulties in relationship to others and to self are some of the reasons people seek counseling. My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe place for clients to work through problems, discover their strengths, and find hope for healing and change. It takes courage to reach out and seek support when you recognize that what you are doing on your own doesn't seem to be working. My hope is that you will start your journey to healing.

I enjoy working with children, teens, and their families to achieve their goals. I enjoy working with families to support healthier and happier relationships. In addition I am currently offering supervision to interns, contact me for further information. To schedule an appointment or free consult see my website: https://jodi-peterson4774.clientsecure.me/

"Daring greatly means the courage to be vulnerable. It means to show up and be seen. To ask for what you need. To talk about how you’re feeling. To have the hard conversations."- Brené Brown. Counseling can feel intimidating, nerve-racking, and desperate; I get it. And the reality is we cannot live life alone and we cannot heal alone. We need each other for support, encouragement, empowerment and restoration. My role as a counselor is to partner with you in your journey toward integrated wholeness and health and to provide you a safe space to be vulnerable, courageous, real and imperfect; for you to come as you are and to just be.

Are you seeking true transformation? I love meeting individuals who are ready for deeper work & revolutionary growth. Whether you are new to counseling or a long-time therapist, if you are wanting to push beyond the familiar shadow parts and let go of the old stories, then we may be an ideal fit. I work with a wide variety of adult clients and enjoy working with various issues including; Self Realization & Potential, Relationships, Romance, Spirituality, The Self, Self-image, Grief, Anxiety, Trauma, Abuse, Communication, Sexual Issues, Sexual Orientation, LGBTQ issues, Trans-Gender issues, Faith/Religion, Spirituality, etc.

I have immediate openings for psychotherapy and life coaching for in-person and online sessions. I have 26 years of experience and believe that lie is meant to be enjoyed. If you are not enjoying life, I figure there's something that you can shift by working together. My clients tend to find me when they're ready to get down to the bottom of what's plaguing them so they can begin to enjoy the life they truly want for themselves. They tend to be functional and even successful by society's standards, but figure there must be more. My clients are often looking for things like deep intimacy, supportive community, and a sense of purpose.
