Dr. Tim Peterson, PsyD (Business )

Become the even better version of yourself.

As a clinical psychologist, I help professionals find clarity and freedom from disabling emotions, stifling decisions, and troubling patterns of behavior.

Dr. Peterson offers therapy, assessment, consulting and coaching on a range of social and emotional problems, including depression, anxiety, stress management, anger control, addictions, self-assertiveness, personality disorders or general adjustment problems.

In-person or Telehealth visits available.

Couples therapy provides a space for the couple to jointly cultivate a better understanding of how they tend to function together around fundamental tasks of a relationship: appreciating and supporting the other’s growth and development; working together in a common undertaking; fostering intimate relations both physical and emotional; making decisions involving shared resources (e.g. money); and resolving disputes/conflicts when they arise.

Effective couples therapy cannot rest with understanding. Useful engagements will continue to foster the development of practical skills, including through active experimentation between sessions.

It may be that the problems holding you back are easily dissolved with a shot of fresh insight. More often, however, our problems derive from established patterns of thinking and feeling that formed gradually over the whole course of our lives. Achieving sustained relief, then, may require a course of therapy.

Therapy is a type of consulting relationship. At its best, therapy provides guided exploration of the challenges to your full engagement with life, sharing feedback and recommendations to help you move forward, all in the environment of a protected container where growth in self-awareness and new mindsets can flourish.

Psychological Assessment can serve a range of needs. The essential function of assessment, however, is to provide you with a clearer understanding of whether you have an emotional disorder, what that specific disorder might be, and what interventions might be recommended.

I see two different kinds of assessment engagements: diagnostic assessments and personality assessments.

Diagnostic assessments are the most common and serve simply to determine whether the client has any kind of emotional disturbance that could interfere with occupational functioning. This need arises in the context of applications for adoption, law enforcement/security work, and other role determinations. A typical engagement would entail one or two sessions of 1-1 interviewing plus administration of any indicated psychological tests (e.g. the MMPI).

Personality assessments are called on to gain a clearer picture of the dynamics underlying an obvious area of dysfunction. I practice personality assessment using a style known as Therapeutic Assessment (TA). TA is a powerful innovation in the assessment field.

A TA engagement begins with an agenda-setting meeting and is followed by 2-3 sessions of psychological testing using objective personality measures (e.g. the Personality Assessment Inventory, PAI or MMPI-2-RF) and projective measures (e.g. the Thematic Apperception Test, TAT or Rorschach Inkblot Method, RIM). The engagement produces a feedback letter summarizing the findings and recommendations discussed.

The cost of an assessment engagement varies depending on your specific needs. Diagnostic assessments may run between $250-400 whereas personality assessments range from $800-1200. I would be able to offer an estimate after an initial meeting to discuss the scope of your needs.
