About Paige Petersen
Mental Health Therapist in Las Vegas and Henderson, Nevada
Hey There! I’m Paige,
Clinical Therapist Intern | Ph.D Student | Pronouns (she/her)
I am passionate about empowering my badass clients to find healing and wellness through mind, body, and relationships!
I have a soft spot for helping people connect with their body and mind to manage things like trauma, anxiety, and depression. I especially love helping people build regulation skills and learn to feel at home within yourself no matter where you go.
My experiences with holistic mental health.
I lived for years and years feeling very dysregulated in my body and mind. My normal was feeling very anxious, depressed or struggling with chronic pain. And as I pursued my education I learned that as humans we work in systems.
Our minds and bodies are a working living system where the patterns in one impact the patterns of the other, just like relationships do.
I started working on my mind, body, and relational patterns all together. After consistent work in these patterns, I found that I wasn’t in survival mode anymore, but that I woke up feeling regulated and whole.
How I use my passion in my work!
I feel so grateful that my career is getting to support others in their journey of healing, wellness, and self discovery! None of my clients stories look the same, we all walk different trails with different terrain, different views, different obstacles. But you don’t have to do it alone. I have my trail bagged packed and ready to go it with you!
I want you to know that your story matters, and who you are has always been enough!
It takes courage and strength to change these patterns that keep your body and mind working on survival mode. But finding wellness and meaningful connection yourself and others is a trail worth taking!
How I can help.
I want to help you grow tools and skills to regulate both your mind & body, heal from trauma, as well as skills to build healthy relationships. I want to support you as you explore your story and empower you as you find who you want to be in this world!
