Your Journey
Therapy can help transform anxiety, depression, trauma, loss, and relationship conflicts. Genuine healing occurs when we bravely confront our inner difficulties and stuck patterns. This is a process I am passionate about supporting.
My approach to psychotherapy is focused on developing a depth of self-understanding and sustaining a gradual paradigm shift towards recognizing how our challenges refine our strengths.
Peter Erickson, Psychotherapist
I serve people devoted to growing themselves and their communities. I often support clients working in helping professions or training as therapists and have experience teaching counseling skills and theories at a graduate program level. I specialize in complex trauma, parts work, and somatic approaches that go beyond typical talk therapy. We dig at the roots of persistent patterns and family dynamics that still unravel life today.
Approach
Relationships
Struggles arise when our closest relationships stop providing us the sense of love & belonging we all need. The therapy relationship can support re-defining how we treat ourselves and others facing the audacious challenge of just trying to be a decent human in our complex world.
Regulation
I gladly facilitate focused breathing or mindfulness practices to help set a regulated foundation for sessions, especially with people who struggle with anxiety or impacts of trauma.
Transforming Trauma
I offer unique experience in navigating complex trauma. Each person's brain & body is designed to aim towards health. This is how we're spiritually wired as well; yearning for wholeness despite our wounds and parts we wish we could exile. If we can learn to face our dark parts and difficult emotions as teachers, we unlock a capacity to grow strength through adversity. Ultimately, this is the way of nature, and how the human mind and spirit evolves.
"What is necessary to change a person is to change his awareness of himself."
