My name is Natalie Peterson and I am a doctoral student working at the Counseling Center.  I am currently in my third year in the Clinical Psychology (PsyD) program at Augsburg University.  Prior to this, I received my bachelor's degree in Psychology at Saint Mary's University of Minnesota (2024).  I also have experience working in an inpatient mental health unit, an ABA program for young children, and completing psychological evaluations in private practice.  

I aim to provide an affirming space for students to discover themselves and ways to navigate mental health concerns, transitions to adulthood, and everyday stress.  Using a person-centered approach, I enjoy working with students experiencing anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, and other mental health challenges.  In doing so, I aim to support and advocate for students to help them be their best selves.

In my down time, I enjoy hiking, doing small art projects, and spending time with my family and dog.
