SERVICES

Exploring your treatment options is the first step towards being on the path of self-discovery, connection, healing, and living a valued life.  I understand the importance of finding a therapist who is a good fit for your unique needs.  I work with adults of all ages and older adolescents, with a broad range of challenges.  In addition to my experience and ongoing training, I bring honesty, compassion, direct dialogue, and humor to all of my work.

Areas of Focus for Psychotherapy:

·         Eating Disorders or Disordered Eating/Exercise

·         Anxiety & Stress

·         Life Transitions (examples: having a baby, getting married, retirement, career-related changes, ending a relationship, graduation)

·         Depression

·         Grief & Loss

·         Trauma

·         Prenatal & Postpartum Problems

·         Aging

·         Relationship Struggles (examples: romantic, parent, child, co-worker)

·         General Women’s Issues

 

INITIAL ASSESSMENT

After the free phone consultation, the next step is to schedule a 55-minute initial assessment.  This initial appointment is to further assess goodness-of-fit, gather history and clinical information, establish initial treatment goals, or provide more appropriate referrals.

 

CONSULTATION & TRAINING

In addition to working directly with individuals in psychotherapy, I provide consultation services to both family members and health professionals.  I am also available to offer clinical training to agencies, schools, and health-care professionals.

 

PRIVATE PAY

An initial phone consultation is provided free of charge.  This phone consultation is to assess whether I can be of assistance to you or help with a referral to better meet your needs.  Contact me at (916) 573-0566 or reach out via email at drlisapetersen@att.net to set up a free phone consultation.

I can provide you with a SuperBill (receipt) to assist you in seeking reimbursement from your insurance. Please contact your insurance company to see if they will reimburse you for an out-of-network provider.

I can also provide you with a receipt if you have a Health Savings Plan (HSA) or a Flexible Spending Allowance (FSA) and plan to use those funds to pay for therapy.
