Jen Peterson, LPC 

Clinical Psychotherapist

I love racoons ok… I have been actively involved in mental health and wellness since 2010, as both a client and a clinician.

My life has been touched by addiction, mental illness, and recovery in many ways, and because of this, I’m confident in your ability to create a life worth living. I am person-centered, collaborative, and strengths-focused; I recognize, that systems play a major role in the beliefs we hold and the choices we make.

I have worked with incarcerated and DOC-mandated individuals, as well as those with substance use disorders, serious mental illness, dual diagnosis, complex trauma, and personality disorders. I believe that our present identity is informed, not defined, by our past.
