Counseling Practice – Peterson Counseling and Consulting, LLC
Peterson Counseling and Consulting, LLC is a telehealth mental health counseling practice based in Chaska, Minnesota, with offices at 1480 White Oak Drive, Chaska, MN 55318. The practice is owned and led by Rachael Peterson, who holds credentials as an MS, LPCC (Licensed Professional Counselor and Clinician), LADC (Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor), and CCTP (Certified Clinical Trauma Professional). This combination of licensure reflects a clinical focus that spans mental health counseling, substance-related concerns, and trauma-informed practice.
The practice offers individual counseling services with a particular emphasis on helping clients address feelings of powerlessness tied to situations, relationships, substances, or emotions. Peterson’s stated approach centers on meeting clients where they are, building safety within the therapeutic relationship, and normalizing the act of reaching out for support. Her practice philosophy frames clients as the primary experts on their own lives, with the counselor serving as a structured guide toward growth and self-understanding. She describes her work as grounded in compassion, trustworthiness, and a willingness to challenge clients toward becoming their best selves.
Trauma-informed care is a central component of Peterson Counseling’s clinical identity, reflected both in Peterson’s CCTP credential and in the peer support programming she offers alongside direct counseling services. The practice provides Peer Support Team Training programs for organizations and agencies seeking to develop peer support capacity within their own teams. A training session was scheduled with the Washington County Attorney’s Office, indicating engagement with legal and public-sector settings.
All counseling services are delivered via telehealth using HIPAA-compliant platforms, making them accessible to clients throughout Minnesota and Wisconsin without requiring in-person travel. The website does not specify particular modalities such as CBT, EMDR, or DBT, nor does it list insurance plans accepted or state the year the practice was established.
