Suzanne Peterson
(She/Her/Hers)
Independent Substance Abuse Counselor, Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)
Through a holistic approach to wellness, I will help walk alongside you as you navigate life's challenges and discover your own solutions.
I received my Master of Science in Counseling Psychology in 2013 with additional certification/training in Substance Use counseling, trauma, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I have 10 years of experience providing therapy to adolescents and adults who have experienced relationship/life stressors, trauma, anxiety, depression, and substance use issues. Using cognitive-behavioral strategies and existential theory, I help individuals build resiliency to the complex challenges life presents and disrupt the patterns in their behaviors and relationships that are causing pain or suffering, working towards wellness in all areas of their lives. Through the process of exploring your values and purpose in life, you can begin to maximize your ability to resolve difficult situations with your own unique and innate strengths and abilities.
