Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Saint George, UT

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.

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who believes mental health care should never feel rushed or one-size-fits-all. I work with individuals experiencing ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, mood concerns, and other mental health challenges. My background in nursing has taught me to look beyond symptoms and understand the whole person. My goal is to create a welcoming space where you feel heard, understood, and actively involved in your care.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over five years of experience in the mental health field. I began my career working directly with adolescent girls in a residential setting. This experience shaped my passion for creating safe and supportive spaces where people feel seen, understood, and valued. I later earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Kentucky and have worked across inpatient, residential, and outpatient settings with both adolescents and adults.

Throughout my career, I have supported clients navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, eating disorders, substance use, and other behavioral health challenges. My approach is compassionate, trauma-informed, and person-centered, drawing from evidence-based approaches such as CBT and DBT while also incorporating attachment theory, somatic-informed interventions, and other approaches tailored to each individual.

I believe therapy is a collaborative process, and I strive to create a space where you can be honest, feel safe enough to explore difficult experiences, and also feel empowered to make meaningful changes. My goal is to meet you where you are while helping you better understand yourself, build lasting tools for coping and connection, and move toward the life you want to create.

I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with over 30 years of experience. I attended the University of Utah and received a BS in Sociology, I received my Masters of Social Work at the University of Southern California (USC). I worked in healthcare for many years treating people with cancer, spinal cord injuries, TBI, and strokes. Additionally, I have worked in the ER in handling crises. I became very interested in working with bereavement and was certified as a bereavement counselor and have run grief support groups. I was a member of the Oncology Social Workers Association and was chair of a local chapter for many years. I was a member of the Association of Spinal Cord Injury Professionals (ASCIP) and sat on their Board for 2 years. I have a great interest in treating trauma from many sources such as first responders, military, police and firefighters and have been trained in EMDR and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART).

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 help people navigate life, as they seek to better understand why they are in the place they find themselves, who they are in relation to the world and others, and where they would like to be.

I am a licensed psychologist with extensive experience in behavioral health and psychology. Throughout my career, I have worked across clinical and behavioral health settings, which has given me a broad perspective on the challenges people face and the importance of providing care that is both thoughtful and individualized.

I value creating a supportive environment where clients feel heard, respected, and comfortable discussing what is most important to them. My goal is to help clients gain a clearer understanding of themselves, identify meaningful goals, and make progress toward positive and sustainable change.

I'm a Utah native who studied at the University of Utah in Pesychology and Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I've worked primarily in substance abuse and addiction, which includes depression, anxiety, family issues, and communication - all the things that come with it. In my 11 years or practice, I've picked up a lot along the way.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) providing compassionate, integrative psychiatric care in California, Utah, and Washington via telehealth, and in-person in Rocklin, California.

I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, bipolar disorder, trauma, burnout, stress, sleep problems, and perinatal and postpartum mental health. If something feels off and you're not sure where to start, you're in the right place.

I provide evaluation and medication management using a trauma-informed approach that considers your sleep, stress, lifestyle, and history. I collaborate with therapists and other providers to support coordinated, patient-centered treatment.

I provide a non Judgmental, positive environment for all populations I serve. I have a no nonsense, direct approach to therapy.
