Sarah Peters

Sarah Peters encourages individuals to carve out time for self-care, comparing the process to buying a gym membership or working with a personal trainer. By committing to personal development within an emotionally supportive setting, she partners with clients to help bring about meaningful change.

Whether someone arrives with a specific goal or wants to build new coping skills for life’s challenges, Sarah’s role is to support progress and offer attentive listening. She works collaboratively to develop practical strategies and strengthen emotional resources so clients can move toward greater confidence in their mental wellness.

Sarah is an art therapist and a licensed clinical professional counselor in Illinois, and she brings over nine years of experience working with individuals, groups, and direct care staff. She meets with people who prefer traditional talk-based therapy as well as those who integrate art and reflective writing into sessions. Grounded in a strength-based approach and using interventions informed by Dialectical Behavior Therapy, she focuses on emotion regulation and helping clients build resilience in areas such as self-esteem, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, and grief.
