Dr Hannah Peters

Licensed Psychologist

“I help adults and college students explore experiences, thoughts and emotions within in a supportive and optimally challenging environment.”

About Me

I offer a space where adults and college students can openly explore their experiences, thoughts, and emotions. This environment is designed to be both deeply supportive and thoughtfully challenging, helping you gain clarity and new perspectives. For those ready to move beyond current patterns, we work collaboratively to navigate complexities and foster personal growth. Together, we can build practical strategies for navigating life's challenges with greater insight and resilience.

Approach

I guide sessions that balance gentle curiosity with focused challenge, helping you name patterns while testing small, manageable shifts. In my Wellesley office and through secure online sessions, we move at a pace that feels steady and responsive, alternating reflective conversation with practical experiments you can try between meetings. I draw on relational and evidence-informed approaches to untangle anxiety, identity, family dynamics, and transitions, tailoring each step to your priorities. This way of working tends to suit adults seeking both insight and concrete change.
