Maybe you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that are becoming harder to manage. You may be struggling in your relationships, carrying the effects of past experiences, or finding that the ways you learned to cope just aren’t working as well anymore. Even if you’re pretty “self-aware” and understand what’s going on intellectually, it can be incredibly frustrating to know why you do something and still feel unable to change it. Annoyingly, sometimes insight alone isn’t enough.
When that builds over time, it can spill into our relationships, confidence, motivation, and ability to be present. We can find ourselves overthinking, shutting down, or wondering why certain things affect us more deeply than they should. And sometimes overthinking actually does help, which can make it even harder to stop.
I’m an LCSW specializing in crisis and trauma, with experience supporting neurodivergent people, including those with autism and ADHD. My approach is attachment-based, trauma-informed, collaborative, and practical. My goal is to help you turn insight into meaningful change. If that resonates, I’d be glad to connect.
Every person experiences seasons of life that can feel overwhelming. Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, substance use, grief, or major life transitions, my goal is to provide a safe, collaborative, and evidence-based therapeutic experience where meaningful, lasting change can occur.
For nearly two decades, I have had the privilege of serving individuals, couples, and families throughout Nevada as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. In addition to direct clinical practice, I have served as a Clinical Director, executive leader, clinical supervisor, consultant, educator, and program developer, helping develop innovative behavioral healthcare programs and clinical services across Nevada. These diverse experiences have allowed me to work with individuals from virtually every walk of life while treating a broad range of complex behavioral health concerns.
My approach is individualized, practical, and grounded in research-supported treatment. I integrate evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, trauma-informed care, and person-centered therapy to develop treatment plans tailored to each client's unique strengths, needs, and goals.
I believe people are far more than the challenges that bring them to therapy. My commitment is to provide compassionate, clinically excellent care while helping clients build resilience, strengthen relationships, overcome obstacles, and create healthier, more meaningful lives.
I have been a therapist for 10+ years. I received my Masters of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Syracuse University. I have specialized training for trauma, anxiety, and attachment, depression, family systems, addiction, and perinatal and postpartum. My range of experience includes residential treatment programs for troubled teens, intensive outpatient, and community mental health. I love working with all ages.
Hi, I’m Macy Peterson, a licensed therapist with a strong passion for helping individuals heal from trauma, navigate grief, and build a meaningful life beyond pain. I specialize in trauma and PTSD and provide a safe, supportive space for clients to work through complex emotional experiences at their own pace.
I am certified in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), EMDR, Neurofeedback, Biofeedback, and Grief and Bereavement Counseling. I use these evidence-based modalities to support the mind-body connection and help clients regulate their nervous systems, release stored trauma, and develop lasting resilience.
My academic background includes a Bachelor’s degree in Human Service Management, a Master’s in School Counseling, and a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Therapy. These degrees have given me a well-rounded foundation for working with clients across diverse backgrounds and life stages.
I believe that healing is not linear, and therapy should be tailored to your individual needs and values. Whether you're feeling stuck in survival mode, coping with unresolved loss, or seeking deeper connection and clarity, I’m here to walk alongside you with compassion, skill, and purpose.
Life is about maintaining balance in all aspects, through love. There is so much out there to learn and grow from, so why not have fun doing it? A little about me: I love going to CrossFit every morning. I am a huge nerd, constantly listening to audibles and/or podcasts such as Huberman Lab and non-fiction books. I enjoy being outdoors: snowboarding, motorcycle/dirt biking, hiking, any movement &traveling. My parents are from Peru, so I visit there often. Tambien hablo español! Therapy can help your understanding of where your emotions come from connecting the past to the present, and decreasing the intensity by making sense of it.
Currently, I am offering tele-health sessions only, with availability M-TH from 9:00am to 2:30pm. I am unable to offer appointments outside of these hours. If that works for you, let me know if you’re interested in booking a session, or if you’d prefer to start with a brief 10-15 minute phone consultation!
I am currently accepting new clients. I’m so glad you’re here. Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, and my goal is to offer a warm, nonjudgmental space where you feel truly heard, respected, and understood. I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, stress, self-esteem, and family conflict. Whatever you’re carrying, I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing and growth.
I am at my best when I am a guide for others. I start by listening and developing understanding of who you are, what you value, and where you struggle. I will help you to find your way back to yourself and develop the trust you need in yourself to live your best life. I use an approach that is very collaborative offering tools and resources, but assisting you to choose your own direction.
We all struggle at times, especially in the way we live these days. I can help you understand how and why you may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected and develop strategies to move through this to a happier, more grounded, and more confident version of yourself.
I strive to help individuals who have been plagued by past or current trauma. I am here to empower within and help my clients uncover who they truly are. My goal is to connect with your potential, find wellness, and create meaning. Finding a therapist who empathizes yet pushes you is never easy. My gentle approach will aid clients in understanding their maladaptive thought patterns and challenging the narrative that has kept them stuck for so long.
