“Mrs. Peterson has been very helpful and attentive to me during my sessions. Talking to her feels like talking to someone I've known for a long time and can trust. She has a personality that is warm and welcoming, which is calming when this is such a new and nerve-wracking experience for me. I recommend her to a high degree.”

“She is amazing at what she does”

“My therapist, Alison Peterson was the perfect match and I don't say that lightly. She has helped me see things in behaviors that I didn't see before.”

“Alison has been very professional and well informed.”

“I just started with her, and she has already helped me see things a different way. A way I can now see how it is effects my thinking.”

“Alison is like speaking with an old friend. She listens intently and is good at mirroring what you say to make sure she understands. You feel heard and valued. Her demeanor is relaxed but professional and I appreciate that her setting is a professional one when we are on camera. It feels like visiting her office instead of having a video chat.”
