Pat Petersen

If you are ready for change in your life, therapy is a great catalyst! I am an experienced and competent Clinical Social Worker in private practice in Des Moines, Iowa. I am trained as an EMDR therapist and Sandplay® therapy. Now I am also a facilitator of SoulCollage® which is another creative expression to work with individuals, couples, families and groups. As we journey through life’s transitions it maybe more challenging than predicted. As your therapist I will guide, educate, support and encourage you to navigate and explore your own self-identity. My goal as a therapist is to provide a creative connection to foster and develop a positive sense of self, leading to a richer and more satisfying life. Empowering people to unlock their full potential in a fast-paced modern society is a primary goal of my practice. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental, and confidential environment to improve the quality of my client’s mental and emotional wellbeing. Finding the right therapist is essential in building rapport, trust and open communication.
