Kate Peters, SWC

Hello! I work from a client-centered, relational perspective. I want to join alongside you in your healing journey in an anti-oppressive way.

I primarily work with folks who are a part of the LGBTQ+ community or have loved ones that are part of this community. I have experience working with people going through life transitions, struggling within their relationships, or navigating anxiety, depression, and suicidality. I also have direct experience working from an informed consent model with trans and gender nonconforming folks who are undergoing medical transitions.
I am a disabled, neurodivergent, nonbinary, queer, thin, and white therapist. I share these identities because I believe they directly impact the way I interact with others, consciously or unconsciously. I believe that providing anyone with effective services starts with my personal education, so I have completed many training sessions on providing affirming care. I am a sex-positive, polyamory-affirming, and kink-informed therapist. I draw from an eclectic knowledge base that includes queer theory, disability justice frameworks, anti-racism, intersectionality, and radical body love. From a more clinical lens, I pull from attachment theory and systems theory; my therapy approach is trauma-informed, person-centered, and strengths-based. It includes a combination of many techniques, including CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing.
