Steven Peterson, LCSW, CADCIII

I have been helping people make positive changes in their life since 1986. I work in a collaborative style that begins with creating a supportive therapeutic relationship. People need to feel safe in my office in order to make successful life changes. I don’t rush the change process but act as a facilitator of personal growth. I emphasize evidence-based treatments in working with addiction clients. Most people with substance abuse issues have co-existing mental health concerns like depression and anxiety as well as family problems.
