Hello, my name is Katie Peterson

A Bit About Me
Hello! I graduated from the University of Delaware in 2017 with a B.A. in International Relations. I am currently pursuing my M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Wilmington University and will graduate in June 2027.
​
Rooted in a person-centered approach, I hope to foster a safe, inclusive, and trauma-informed setting for clients to explore their challenges and build coping skills. I view therapy as a collaborative effort and tailor my approach to the needs of the individual. I incorporate modalities like DBT, ACT, IFS, and somatics into my work with clients.
​
My experiences as a queer woman guide my professional aspirations. I am dedicated to serve individuals who identify as LGBTQ+ in supporting and empowering them achieve their goals.
