Manon McPeters, MA Candidate

Mental Health Therapist Intern | (she/her)

Supervised by Marykate Tihinen, MA, LMHC, CDPT (425.224.5439 | marykate@unifiedbh.org)

My mission statement as a person and a counselor is to see, honor, and call forward the full human-ness of each individual I engage with; that deep Self that lies deeper than any behavior, belief, or experience. 

My approach is person-centered, and eclectic, meaning I draw on a variety of modalities to work alongside my clients to create safety, growth, and healing. I believe my clients are the experts on their own lives, and I am here to provide support, reflection, tools, and care. I am most drawn to modalities such as somatic experiencing, sensorimotor psychotherapy, and internal family systems (IFS). Through my internship I will be receiving supervision specializing in CBT and DBT, and I will be receiving consultation focused on trauma work through the remainder of my graduate program. 

I have been a registered yoga teacher for over a decade, and wholeheartedly believe that the body is a powerful ally in mental and emotional healing and growth. I also spent 12 years working for various different wilderness schools providing nature connection mentoring, and leading coming-of-age and rites-of-passage wilderness trips. The land can be a profound mirror and supporter for the inner work done in therapy. 

I work with individuals ages 13 and up. I believe strongly in the client having agency in the therapeutic process, and will do as much as I can to promote collaboration, and co-creating a therapeutic space that meets your needs.
