DeAndrea Peterson, LPC

DeAndrea Peterson, LPC, is a licensed professional counselor in Alabama who brings 14 years of experience supporting people as they navigate life’s challenges and keep moving forward, one step at a time. She approaches counseling with the belief that progress can look different for everyone, and that meaningful change often comes from staying engaged with the process even when growth feels slow.

Known for an outgoing, down-to-earth style, DeAndrea Peterson emphasizes practical, real-world support and straightforward interventions. She does not rely on one-size-fits-all solutions, recognizing that each person’s background, strengths, and needs are unique. Her work is grounded in the idea that clients are the experts on their own stories, and that therapy can help identify and build on the strengths already present.

Her educational path began at Alabama State University in Montgomery and continued at Troy University, where she completed a Master of Science in Counseling and Psychology with a focus in clinical mental health. She also earned a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice with a concentration in Juvenile Delinquency and a minor in Sociology. Across residential, non-traditional educational, and outpatient settings, she has worked with youth and families and supports clients with concerns such as stress and anxiety, relationship and family conflict, and parenting challenges. DeAndrea Peterson looks forward to partnering with each client as they work toward clear, personalized therapeutic goals.
