Christine Peterson, MSW, PCSW

Hello Sweetwater County!  My passion lies in teaching my clients how to use the power of their own nervous system to regulate their emotions and attune to their own needs for healing and growth.  I have lived in Green River for over twenty years with my husband and four children.  My family is growing, as my eldest son is married.  In the warm months you can find me on a paddle board or enjoying the sunshine on a walk with my dog Bailey.  All year long you can find me on a yoga mat instructing and practicing the art of mind body connection.  

If you are seeking services for your child you may expect to meet with me for a free one hour consultation.  We will explore what is happening in your child’s world and I will explain the power of Synergetic Play Therapy and together we will decide if we are a good fit. In addition to play, I use a variety of tools to support your child including sand tray work, artwork, bilateral movements, and biofeedback.  As we partner together in the therapeutic process, you will receive parent coaching and support at your own sessions, and together we will help your child learn how to overcome challenges, regulate, and ultimately find empowerment and healing.  

If you are seeking out services for a teen or an adult, I will begin by building a relationship, as relationship is the cornerstone of all healing and growth.  We will explore areas that need healing as well as learn skills to practice outside of session. EMDR and ART are effective therapeutic models that use bilateral techniques to guide clients through a series of images and sensations to allow for integration and healing.  I believe that all humans have the potential to heal and to grow when given the right environment, with effective tools, within a therapeutic relationship.
