Guided by both formal clinical training and my own lived experience navigating ADHD, anxiety, and loss, I have a deep, authentic respect for how heavy life’s challenges can feel. While every client’s journey is unique, this background shapes my commitment to providing a compassionate, non-judgmental space where we build practical, evidence-based skills to help you thrive—no matter what brings you through the door.
Hello, I'm Jessica Peterson, an Associate Professional Counselor (APC) at Thriveworks in Cumming, GA, supervised by Hannah Funderburk. I earned my M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Troy University and specialize in offering compassionate, evidence-based care to children, teens, and adults. I work with individuals facing anxiety, ADHD, OCD, depression, eating disorders, grief, and other life concerns. Whether you want to master practical self-regulation tools or simply need a safe space to be truly heard, I offer a warm, empathetic environment dedicated to helping you heal and move forward.
Therapy is a collaborative healing process—not a one-size-fits-all model. I draw from CBT, DBT, IFS, play therapy, sand tray therapy, and a variety of other therapies to meet you right where you are. I help you uncover your strengths, develop realworld coping tools, and process past experiences so you can navigate life with better ease and clarity.
Reaching out for support takes immense courage, but you don't have to navigate this season by yourself. Whether you are seeking practical coping strategies or a compassionate place to process heavy moments, I am here to support you every step of the way. I invite you to take the first step toward regaining your footing and schedule your initial session.

I’m a trauma‑informed therapist who blends warmth, clinical precision, and a deep respect for each person’s lived experience to help clients feel safe, seen, and capable of meaningful change.
I am an associate professional counselor in Georgia, and I support clients who've been carrying a heavy load alone and are finally ready for relief from always having to be strong. I work with children experiencing big feelings they can't yet name, teens trying to understand who they are, and adults navigating trauma, anxiety, or major life transitions. My clients often want to feel more regulated, connected, and grounded, understand their emotions, and break old patterns. I offer a warm, steady space where you can feel seen rather than judged, understood rather than dismissed, and supported as you build tools that fit your life.
I specialize in trauma, anxiety, emotional regulation, and life transitions, using person-centered, trauma-informed care with therapeutic play foundations, mindfulness, somatic awareness, and strengths-based practices. I support clients in developing communication and coping skills. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy.
I offer a supportive, goal‑focused space where you can explore what's been challenging and gain clarity about your next steps. If you're considering therapy, I welcome you to reach out so we can explore whether working together aligns with the changes you are hoping to make.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

At Thriveworks, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) primarily concentrates on assisting individuals in emotion regulation, enhancing interpersonal relationships, and acquiring effective coping strategies for managing stress and emotional difficulties.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) targets your personal challenges. You may work with your DBT therapist to maintain diary cards to monitor progress, emphasizing validation and support in the therapeutic relationship. DBT follows a stage-based approach, prioritizing crisis reduction initially and life satisfaction.
DBT was initially developed to address the needs of individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD). However, its versatile approach has enabled its application to a wide range of mental health conditions, including but not limited to, anxiety, depression, stress, and anger issues.
The 4 pillars of DBT are mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) have distinct purposes and aren’t inherently superior or inferior to one another. DBT is most effective for managing emotional regulation, personality disorders, and interpersonal challenges, while EMDR is specifically tailored for individuals with trauma-related conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) with therapists at Thriveworks in , GA is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The duration of a standard DBT program is typically around 24 weeks, which is roughly six months. The actual number of sessions will vary depending on the issues you wish to address.
Includes individual, couples, child/ teen, & family therapy
Includes reducing symptoms with medication & management
