Shannon Peterson

You may look capable on the outside but feel overwhelmed on the inside. Maybe your nervous system rarely slows down. Maybe you overthink, overperform, or overextend — and still feel like it’s not enough. Or maybe you’re trying to figure out who you are and how to manage the pressure that comes with becoming an adult. I work with people who want more than coping — they want to understand themselves and build a life that actually fits. I specialize in working with college-age students and adults navigating anxiety, trauma, and complex PTSD. Many of my clients are thoughtful, high-capacity individuals who function well while carrying a lot internally. My approach integrates EMDR, CBT, DBT, mindfulness, interpersonal process therapy, and nervous system regulation. Therapy with me is collaborative and practical — we build skills, increase insight, and create meaningful change. My goal is to help you build the clarity, tools, and internal steadiness to move through your life with intention. Specialties: I help people find their true self. I tailor my approach to each person I work with. I may support you with building functional habits, coping skills, processing emotions, identifying boundaries, learning to trust your feelings. We will go through the hard things at a pace that works for you. Credentials & Experience: I am licensed in Nebraska and Iowa and hold additional certification in trauma-informed therapy.
