Avery Peffer
Introduction
Feeling overwhelmed by anxiety? Stuck in OCD rituals? Caught in the middle of a family conflict? Struggling at school or college? Maybe your child is struggling to manage big emotions or navigate a difficult transition. Whatever brought you here, you don't have to figure it out alone. I work with children, teens, teens, college students, and adults (ages 5-30) navigating OCD, anxiety, trauma, friendship struggles, family conflict, and school or life transitions. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I meet each client where they are and tailor treatment to what works for them. Together, we will focus on building emotional regulation, rebuilding confidence, deepening self-understanding, and developing coping skills that last. I strongly believe in early intervention for children and teens. When working with younger clients, I actively involve caregivers because lasting change happens both inside and outside the therapy room. To guide my work, I draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Play Therapy, and Exposure and Response Prevention. I use Brainspotting to help clients process trauma at the deepest brain and body level. Whatever you're carrying, my goal is to help you build a life that feels steady, fulfilling, and fully yours.
