Melissa Petersen Claim

I help those struggling with the pain of past traumas, family dysfunction, and interpersonal conflicts to build self-efficacy and compassion to heal and move forward. I help children, teens, and families experiencing conflict to build empathy, structure, and cohesiveness in the family system. I teach parents how to implement positive strategies to decrease their child’s behavior issues and increase effective communication in the family. I support and encourage all clients towards positive changes for more rewarding lives. I utilize EMDR, client-centered therapy, child-centered play therapy, and trauma-focused therapy in my work.
