Getting to know Peter Cabrera-Nguyen

Hi there, I'm Peter! I earned a PhD from Washington University in St. Louis & completed a 2-year NIH-funded postdoctoral fellowship in Psychiatry at WashU Medical School. I offer warm, collaborative, evidence-based therapy for adults and teens 16+ facing anxiety, depression, trauma, mood issues, life changes, chronic illness, and religious trauma. My focus Are you struggling with trauma, complex PTSD, mood disorders, or other serious mental health challenges? I help adults and teens 16+ process painful experiences, including religious trauma, build practical coping skills, and move toward healing, greater stability, and a stronger sense of self. My approach My approach is collaborative, practical, and tailored to you. I use an evidence based approach and draw from ACT, CBT, DBT, psychodynamic, and existential approaches to support your goals. You set the pace and focus of sessions, and together we build insight, skills, and meaningful change. My communication style My communication style is warm, direct, and collaborative. I practice active listening and aim to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and respected. I offer feedback with empathy and clarity, helping you explore patterns, make sense of difficult experiences, and stay connected to your goals. My journey to mental healthcare I was drawn to mental healthcare by a deep curiosity about people and a desire to help them heal. Working in inpatient, residential, and partial hospital settings deepened my belief that no one is fundamentally broken and that trauma can heal. I strive to promote resilience by offering a safe, compassionate space for growth and change. My goals for you Together, we’ll identify goals that matter to you, revisit them as your needs evolve, and track progress in a meaningful way. I offer practical tools, honest feedback, and encouragement to help you stay engaged and moving forward.
