Chris Peters is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Larchmont Village, Los Angeles and via Telehealth for all of California.
Chris specializes in helping with all things "relationships" and things that get in the way of having meaningful ones--whether that be your own personal challenges, or interpersonal issues between you and others. Some of these challenges and his specialties include self-esteem, perfectionism, shame, identity development (sexuality and gender), past traumas, infidelity/cheating, arguing, and other clinical challenges. While he specializes in working with the LGBTQIA+ audience, he work with all relationships looking to breakdown the underlying rules and assumptions that make up our meaning of "love" or the perfect "partner(s)".
His approach varies depending on the client and their level of connection internally to their thoughts, feelings and connection to the body. Chris believes healing requires connection to all three, and different levels of therapy help with each. His primary forms of therapy include Internal Family Systems (IFS), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy (EMDR), Psychodynamic, and a blend of other empirically supported treatments, where it serves the client.
Chris provides free consultations (about 20 minutes) to determine fit prior to scheduling a first session and these are done over Zoom. You can expect to have a brief understanding of who he is, how he works and the fee that would be associated with his services ($185 individuals, $225 couples/relationships) by the end of that consultation before you decide to move froward.
