Rachel Peterson, LAMFT

I’m a Licensed Associate Marriage and Family Therapist working with individuals, couples, and families across the Twin Cities, with over 13 years of experience in coaching and mental health.

I support clients navigating anxiety, ADHD, eating disorders, behavioral challenges, and the emotional impact of chronic illness, with a special focus on diabetes-related mental health.

My approach is compassionate and collaborative, grounded in unconditional positive regard while also gently challenging patterns that may be keeping you stuck. I believe growth comes from a balance of feeling understood and being supported to make meaningful change.

Together, we will focus on improving relationships, communication, and everyday coping. I draw from CBT, DBT, and ACT, tailoring therapy to your unique needs and goals.

Outside of therapy, I enjoy spending time with my two young kids, getting outdoors, singing jazzlocally, going to concerts, and visiting family up north and out west.

I currently practice under the supervision of Lori Ekholm, LMFT, here at Virta.
