Emma Peterson
MA, LMHCA
Therapy begins when you feel seen and heard. I bring warmth and realness into the space; I want you to feel safe and comfortable to be yourself, knowing you’ll be met with empathy.
I work with children (6+), teens, and adults, with a special focus on anxiety, mood disorders, behavioral challenges, and autism. As a DBT-certified therapist, I use evidence-based, practical tools to help you manage difficult emotions and improve relationships. Through a trauma-informed and culturally sensitive lens, we can work together to find strategies that actually fit your life. I also utilize CBT, ACT, and PCIT. Together, we can create a treatment plan that meets your unique needs.
In my spare time, I enjoy gardening, listening to music, crocheting, coloring, playing any and all sports, scootering, and spending time with my two dogs.
You don’t have to figure it out on your own. Bring me the hard stuff, the silly stuff, and even the “I have no idea what’s going on” stuff. We’ll sort through it together with honesty and maybe a little humor, knowing that no one is perfect.
