Peyton Petty
Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Indiana. I received my Masters of Social Work at Indiana University and have been practicing for 8 years. With a background working in nonprofit, school, and private practice settings I have worked with a wide variety of clients.
The majority of my work has focused on grief and loss, depression, and anxiety as well as trauma and life changes.
The majority of my work has focused on grief and loss, depression, and anxiety as well as trauma and life changes. My goal is to work with my clients where they are currently, help them identify what they want life to look like for them, create meaningful, achievable goals, and help them develop the tools to achieve those goals.
First session
In our first session together, I want to get to know you. I want to hear how you are currently struggling, learn about your family, your past, and your strengths. We will work together to craft the focus and goals you have for therapy and how those goals can be best achieved. Taking the first step and starting therapy takes a great deal of courage, I applaud any individual who recognizes that getting help with their struggles and hope to demonstrate that in our first session, and all sessions following.
Strengths
Having worked in a variety of settings in the last several years I have had the pleasure of working with a variety of individuals. I am able to meet a client where they are currently at, not expecting them to be anywhere else, and work at their pace. The world we live in is made up of so many unique individuals and I believe that we can learn something from every person we meet. Not only do I want to help my clients achieve their goals and learn new tools from me, I believe that I also can learn from them because of their unique worldview.
