About me

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with nearly 13 years of experience working with a wide variety of clients. I have worked for a for-profit agency as well as a tribal entity. I have worked in the school setting and a residential setting working with children who suffered from both chemical dependency and mental health issues. I work from a client centered approach and understand people are starting their journey at different points of their lives and illness. I will consistently provide a safe and nonjudgmental space to explore the things they are struggling most with. My goal is to walk through this journey with each client to help them achieve their goals in therapy.

I have experience working with children and adolescents. I spent time working in the foster care system and have experience working emotionally disturbed children. I believe it is important for children and adolescents to have a safe space to talk about what is going on with them, and I am here to provide that.

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Kristin Petersen. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Teen Counseling might be different.

She is an amazing therapist. She can pit herself in your shoes, and gives suggestions on how to help as a parent.
