These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Ryan Peterson. 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.

I have only been with Dr. Peterson for a short time during the worst moments of my life. He is a lifesaver. He is kind and a good listener but also makes sure to tell me the truth. In this awful, dark time, I am lucky to have him

Work with me!
