Hello, I'm Nathan Peterson!
-The Specialist You've Been Looking For-
|
I am so glad you found me! It can be difficult to find someone who truly is a specialist with OCD and other anxiety related disorders. With my extensive experience over the past 12 years and the hundreds of individuals I have seen, my focus has been to specialize in treating the following:
Something drove you here. Today is the day to take the next step toward a better tomorrow!

I provide sessions as needed for the individual. We will go through the evidenced based treatment that is needed for you. If you suffer from OCD we're going to be using exposure and response prevention (ERP). For Tics or Tourette's we will use the comprehensive treatment for tics (CBIT). For hair pulling or skin picking we will be using the comprehensive behavioral treatment model (ComB). With the various anxiety related disorders such as social anxiety, generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and hoarding the treatment will be customized specifically for you.
Individual sessions are recommended for the following disorders:
‣Trichotillomania (hair pulling) ‣Dermatillomania (skin picking) ‣Tics and Tourettes
‣OCD ‣PANDAS/PANS ‣Hoarding Disorder ‣Panic Disorder

When it comes to anxiety, sometimes a higher level of care is needed. I have created an intensive outpatient program for those who suffer with OCD, PANDAS/PANS, social anxiety, generalized anxiety disorder, hoarding disorder and panic disorder.
Individuals will experience something more than just talking. This will be the start of your journey. You will be making behavioral changes and possibly will do a different type of research based treatment than you have ever done in the past. This may positively impact your life. If you are debating if you need to be in an intensive outpatient program, give me a call, I will talk you through the program and see if you are a good fit or not.
You may be wondering what an intensive outpatient program is. I spend time tailoring this program specifically to your needs.
Some individuals may come 2-5 days a week 1-2 hours a day.

With some of the OCD and anxiety problems I face - like most people with OCD - it can feel strange talking about things with other people. But I feel comfortable talking about anything with Nate. He's kind and nonjudgemental, and there's always a peaceful feeling in his office that I very much appreciate.
He tells me what I need to hear, but he does so by gently letting me know what he observes, or just helping me figure it out myself.
Nate is someone you can confide in, laugh with, and take experienced counsel from... an expert therapist and a wonderful human being.

Thanks to Nate the “worry wrinkles” are melting off my daughter’s face & we again hear her singing to herself throughout the day!
When she started seeing Nate just a few months ago, she “felt stuck” in cycles of unrelenting worry and was becoming downright miserable. Enter a kind, compassionate man who is a good listener and full of practical methods to empower my daughter!
Each week Nate pushed her just a tiny bit further. It was the perfect balance of “bite sized & manageable” + a challenge that produced growth and progress. I could not be more pleased with how far she’s come in these few months & I’m grateful to Nate for being her guide and for coaching me on how to support her progress at home
(skills I believe are making me a better mother and also just a better human being all-around!)
I would recommend Nate to anyone “feeling stuck” and needing some patience, wisdom, and a gentle nudge.

Nate helped me work through Relationship OCD. Without him my life would be drastically different. I was in trouble and there were no resources that were helping, and my problem was getting worse. I was recommended him by a family member who did some research and I started visiting him. What we did was difficult, but worth it. I highly recommend Nate to anyone seeking help with OCD and/or anxiety. Please, please do the exercises that he gives you. They are frightening, but they work.

Dr. Nate has been amazing! You know those hurtful thoughts that keep bouncing around in your mind even though it's been years? How relieving it is to finally be free of those thoughts holding any power of me anymore! I love all the documents and research he provided me that I could look into further by myself and I'm truly grateful for his help. Also he has the most soothing voice. Thanks Dr. Nate!

My son (8) had the best experience in working with Nate on his anxiety and tics. Nate was kind, encouraging and authentic during all of our sessions. He gave my son practical tools to help work through his anxiety/tics instead of avoiding them or building up anger. We highly recommend Nate's services!

Nathan helped my 11 year old son tremendously with trichotillomania and other OCD type behaviors. His approach to helping him deal with his issues was so simple, yet so amazingly effective. I am so happy to see my son happy and healthy again. If you or your child are struggling, do not hesitate, Nathan is absolutely the right therapist.
