Dr. Rena Peterson
Hi, I’m Rena Peterson, a licensed psychologist with over 20 years of clinical experience. My work has centered on supporting older adults as they navigate life changes, improve their mood and well-being, and build meaningful relationships. I am passionate about learning each person’s life story and helping them explore their thoughts and feelings around life transitions.
I commonly work with concerns such as anxiety, depression, adjustment difficulties, medical challenges, relationship issues, and questions of purpose and meaning. My goal is to empower individuals to reach their personal goals, enhance their quality of life, and grow with confidence and authenticity.
How would you describe your approach to care?
My approach to care is collaborative, strengths-based, and tailored to each individual’s needs. I integrate CBT interventions with client-centered, solution-focused, and empathetic techniques to support clients in navigating life changes, improving mood, and fostering meaningful connections. I strive to create a safe, supportive environment where clients can explore challenges, clarify goals, and develop practical strategies. My aim is to empower individuals to build resilience, achieve personal growth, and live in alignment with their values.
What should be expected in the first session?
In your consult, we’ll take time to get to know each other and talk about what brought you to therapy. This will be a relaxed, supportive conversation with no pressure to share more than you feel comfortable. I adapt my approach to your preferences—some clients appreciate more structure, while others prefer a conversational flow. We’ll also discuss how therapy works, what to expect moving forward, and begin identifying goals that feel meaningful to you. Above all, my priority is to ensure you feel heard, respected, and at ease as we begin this journey together at your own pace.
