Emma Peters LCPC, LMHC, LPC

Over the years, I've developed a passion for working with young adults and supporting the unique challenges they face today. I've found that many young (and even not-so-young!) adults are dealing with major life transitions, and struggle to navigate those new changes at times. This is where therapy steps in! I offer teletherapy services that allow you to experience therapy from the comfort of your home. Cuddle up with your pup, grab a cozy blanket, & get comfy. When working with me, you can expect to gain new coping skills, tools for challenging and disrupting negative thoughts, new insights, and increased awareness of strategies for self-care and self-love. This process can be difficult at times, but I believe growth and change don't exist without some discomfort. You have taken the steps to begin (or maybe continue) your mental health journey and I look forward to the opportunity to support and empower you along the way! I hope to talk with you soon.

Our first session will be an opportunity to get to know each other! It will include a thorough discussion of a variety of topics about your life. Some examples include: -- Mental health history -- Goals for therapy -- Family dynamics -- Romantic relationships -- Substance use history -- Social relationships -- Work/School history -- Top stressors If you have any questions for me, we'll also make space for them in this first session.

I'm a firm believer that cost is the biggest barrier for most people seeking care today. For this reason, I'm in-network with a wide variety of insurance companies, and provide options for billing out-of-network benefits as well. I strive to make therapy more accessible by working with as many insurance companies as possible to ensure clients are able to utilize their benefits.

I worked in a number of high-risk, high-support environments before settling into private practice a few years ago. While that work was challenging, I find that it provided me with a great wealth of knowledge and experience to handle the challenges that tend to come up in therapy.
