About Me
I’m Chris Peters and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of California and am in the process of being licensed in Illinois. I currently work completely remote via Zoom.
I believe everyone is inherently capable of self-healing, given they can understand the part of them that is hurting. Sometimes this is blocked by protective behaviors that bring about challenges in our life and relationships, and I am there to help you find and re-negotiate that blockage.
In order to accomplish this, I use a flexible approach involving multiple techniques/modalities in working with my clients. I am trained in EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MSBR) techniques. I am somatically informed and pursuing Somatic Experiencing certification. I often integrate those and cognitive neuroscience education to help my work with both my client't mind and body. I am in regular consultation and trainings to further my practice and stay on the forefront of new therapy styles that may benefit my clients.
I am a proud member of the LGBTQ community and I welcome all genders, sexualities, and relationship types in my practice. I am also kink-allied, sex-positive and work with new or existing HIV diagnosis.
My Masters in Clinical Psychology is from Antioch University and my Bachelors in Business is from Indiana University. I spent 15 years in the startup technology space in various sales, account management, product, and executive leadership roles.
