Tending Within - Kara Peterson, M.Ed., LCPC, PMH-C

Hi, I'm Kara! I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with a Master of Education in Counseling and am Certified in Perinatal Mental Health. My clinical work is grounded in an individualized, evidence-based approach, drawing from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, EMDR, and relational models. I specialize in supporting individuals navigating infertility, pregnancy loss, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs), traumatic birth experiences, and the often complex transition to parenthood. I believe therapy should make room for the full complexity of your experience—not just how you think you should be feeling. My practice is LGBTQ+ affirming and rooted in inclusive, culturally responsive care, with an emphasis on creating a space where you can feel understood, supported, and fully yourself.
