Getting to know Robert Peterson

Robert Peterson is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with over 30 years of experience helping children, adolescents, and adults overcome life's challenges. He earned his Master’s in Social Work from Eastern Washington University. Having spent much of his career in international school settings, Robert has deep expertise in helping youth cope with cultural adjustment, displacement, isolation, and stress. Utilizing evidence-based approaches including CBT and solution-focused therapy, Robert develops resilience in clients facing trauma, grief, relationship conflicts, and other crises. He specializes in teaching practical coping skills for stress management, anxiety, depression, anger issues, and personal growth. In addition to counseling individuals, Robert provides parenting support, academic and career coaching, and family therapy. He has worked extensively with LGBTQ+ clients, addictions, trauma and abuse survivors, and those experiencing life transitions. Robert creates a welcoming space for clients of all backgrounds and identities. My approach I utilize a range of evidence-based therapies tailored to each client's unique needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps clients identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and make positive changes. My crisis response skills allow me to assess risks, stabilize clients, and connect them with appropriate supports. For clients overcoming specific traumas, I use EMDR to process experiences and relieve symptoms. Solution-focused brief therapy helps clients set achievable goals and build solutions. Across modalities, I prioritize building self-efficacy and coping skills. My eclectic, person-centered approach draws from various techniques to meet clients where they are. I create a welcoming, non-judgmental environment for LGBTQ+ individuals, trauma survivors, those managing life transitions, relationship issues, addictions, and other challenges.
