Dr. Trevor Petersen

Welcome to my channel! I'm Trevor Petersen, a professor, author, and licensed clinical psychologist. While working with hundreds of clients and college students over the last 15 years, I've witnessed the critical need for greater access to education on how to effectively manage mental health challenges. 

My goal for this channel is to share as many evidence-based psychological skills as I can in a way that is simple to grasp, substantive, and immediately applicable. These tools will help strengthen relationships, meet biopsychosocial needs, invite joy, increase meaning, elevate functioning, and enhance vitality. 

I draw from research-backed psychotherapies including CBT, ACT, PAT, EFT, DBT, CPT, and others as needed. I believe that with increased access to quality education and support, we can curb the mental health crises and improve the quality of life of millions.
