Approach
Ms. Peterson's approach to mental health is holistic, caring and individualized. Her goal is to treat the whole person, not just the symptoms of mental illness. The mind and body are interconnected to a person's physical health which could impact their mental health and vice versa. Therefore, her focus is the mind-body/gut connection, nutrition, physical health, digestion health, sleep, and thought patterns to heal individuals at all levels as naturally as possible.
