Alicia Peterson, MSW, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker

​​My goal as a therapist is to create a safe, judgment-free, and
compassionate space where clients feel truly heard and supported. I
believe that building a strong therapeutic relationship is essential
to achieving meaningful progress, so establishing trust and rapport is
always my top priority. My hope is that each client feels empowered,
validated, and equipped to navigate life’s challenges with confidence.

​I have experience and a deep interest in working with individuals
across the lifespan, including children, adolescents, adults, and
seniors. I have a particular passion for supporting individuals with
developmental and intellectual disabilities, as well as those recently
diagnosed and managing chronic health conditions. My work focuses on
helping clients navigate the emotional and psychological challenges
that can arise, providing them with the tools and support they need to
thrive. I have experience helping clients work through anxiety,
depression, trauma, OCD, and challenges related to emotion regulation.

I take an eclectic approach to therapy, tailoring my methods to meet
each client’s unique needs. I have training in Trauma-Focused
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy
(DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and
Commitment Therapy (ACT). Additionally, I utilize parts work.  I have
specialized training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing
(EMDR) to help clients process trauma and distressing experiences.

Above all, I am committed to providing a supportive and empowering
therapeutic experience that fosters growth, healing, and resilience.​
