Hi, I'm Jeraleen Peterson LCSW

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I take a whole-person approach to counseling, recognizing how emotional, physical, social, cultural, and spiritual experiences shape our lives. I look beyond symptoms to understand your unique strengths, challenges, and circumstances. I became a therapist because I believe deeply in the human capacity for growth, resilience, and healing. My own life experiences have taught me the value of having a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can be genuinely heard and understood. That's the kind of relationship I strive to create.

My approach is warm, collaborative, culturally responsive, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness-based techniques, tailoring counseling to your individual needs, values, and goals. For those who desire it, I also incorporate Christian faith and biblical wisdom while respecting every client's spiritual beliefs.

I work with adults ages 18–100, supporting individuals, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, racial stress, relationship challenges, chronic illness, caregiving, and major life transitions. Whether you're facing a difficult season or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, we'll work together to build practical skills, discover new perspectives, and create meaningful change. My goal is simple: To help you get unstuck, recognize your strengths, and move forward with greater confidence and purpose.
