I am Chris Peters, MA, LMFT

I’m originally from the Hoosier state of Indiana, and after embarking on a career in tech, I found myself chasing opportunities across some of the country’s hustle and bustle cities—New York City, San Francisco, Chicago, and Los Angeles. While the fast-paced tech world gave me intellectual challenges and success, I eventually realized that relying on my analytical mind was a way of avoiding the deeper personal work I needed to do. It was through this discovery, my own journey of healing and becoming a healer, that I discovered the power of integrating mind and body in the process of growth and recovery. I am always learning personally and professionally, as you will see by my advanced training below.

Outside of my work, I’m a former CrossFitter, equestrian, and current weightlifter, all of which have taught me valuable lessons about physical resilience, focus, and technical skill. Being an equestrian, in particular, helped me understand the profound bond between humans and animals, and the emotional intelligence required to connect and communicate with another living being. I’m also a dog dad, an uncle, and an avid skier, and spending time in nature is a grounding experience for me. Whether it’s getting enjoying a good fantasy novel, getting lost in the woods, or being by the water, I find that these activities keep me connected to a deeper sense of balance and presence—something I bring into my therapeutic work to help clients connect more fully with themselves.
