Chris Peters (He/Him)

My background is in the treatment of trauma, depression, anxiety, and interpersonal conflict. I am not the kind of therapist who sits back and only asks you how you feel the every session--I am actively engaged in understanding what your story is, how you got to where you are, and what is getting in the way of getting to where you want to go. I like to focus on helping clients see new perspective and gain new insight. By doing such, I believe they inherently hold the key to self-healing. I like to help my client see the bigger picture--the meaning and purpose behind their actions, and pull apart the things that are getting in the way of these dreams. I come from a position that no two clients respond to the same techniques exactly the same way--we find the approach that treats your specific wounds and sets you fourth with a fresh perspective. You are beautiful, awesome, and lovable -- if you don' know that yet, you are about to.

I believe that all people are capable of self-healing, given they have the right perspective to do so. This I speak from experience, being in your position on the couch (and still am), for many periods throughout my life. Therapy has changed my life, and wish that I could have found the therapist I found in my adult life much earlier. He helped change my life. Being a part of the LGBTQ community growing up in Indiana, society was not my friend. Alongside of this I had other trauma that made situations worse. I was lost, but today I know my purpose and hope to help as many others find theirs. I volunteer regularly with different organizations involved in advocacy for the LGBTQ community -- I also offer counseling services pro bono to help underserved portions of our community. My work here helps me to do so. I am the kind of therapist who answers questions and interacts. Please don't be shy. I hope to speak with you soon!
