KARA PETERSEN, LMFT
Psychotherapy is a portal to understanding, healing, and transformation. If you are struggling with aspects of life, experiencing a difficult transition, or suffering from things like anxiety, depression, and trauma, it would be my honor to accompany you on your psychotherapy journey.

I work with folks of all ages, whether your little one needs extra help with big feelings, your adolescent needs support navigating the turbulence of the teenage years, or you want to explore your own past to better understand the present.

​I am a warm and humorous therapist who incorporates a mythopoetic   approach to help clients
create meaning and affect change
​in their lives.
