Whether this is the first time that you’re seeking out therapy or if you have done this before, the process can be overwhelming. But you should know that by being here you've taken the first step in your journey.
My name is Erin Peterson, I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in Massachusetts specializing in Providing evidence-based, effective, and compassionate therapy to individuals navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, perinatal mental health, gender identity, stress and life transitions. I support people in managing emotions more effectively or in understanding themselves and their identity more fully. I help people make changes in their thought patterns and behaviors in an inclusive and supportive environment.
“I believe that in order for therapy to be effective, there has to be a match between therapist and client, plus a readiness to change on the client’s part. I work to develop a warm and supportive environment for all individuals meeting with me. I work from a gender affirming space. I know the decision to start therapy can be a big step. I look forward to meeting with you soon”
