My name is Wade Christian Peterson, though I go by Christian. I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology (with a minor in Criminology) from the University of Oklahoma. Subsequently, I received my Master of Arts in Clinical/Counseling Psychology from Midwestern State University. I currently hold a Licensed Professional Counselor licensure for the state of Texas. I’ve had the opportunity to work in multiple environments, including state facilities, private inpatient treatment, judicial treatment programs and private practice.

I have advanced training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems Theory (IFS), Motivational Interviewing, Person-Centered, Schema Therapy, Solution Focused Brief Therapy and Strengths-Based Therapy. Currently, I work with ages 12 and older. Within this population, I specialize in working with the following: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Depression/Anxiety/General Issues, EMDR, Grief, LGBTQA+, Military/First Responders, OCD, Mood Disorders, PTSD, School Related Issues, Substance Use, Young Adult Issues, and Transition/Retirement.

I provide a genuine connection with a direct attachment-focused approach and believe in making treatment a collaborative effort to acknowledge, experience, and bear the reality of life. I guide clients to find healing within oneself, identify and develop strengths, and foster hope that you can live your best life, reaching your goals and overcoming obstacles.
