About
Guided by both formal clinical training and my own lived experience navigating ADHD, anxiety, and loss, I have a deep, authentic respect for how heavy life’s challenges can feel. While every client’s journey is unique, this background shapes my commitment to providing a compassionate, non-judgmental space where we build practical, evidence-based skills to help you thrive—no matter what brings you through the door.
Hello, I'm Jessica Peterson, an Associate Professional Counselor (APC) at Thriveworks in Cumming, GA, supervised by Hannah Funderburk. I earned my M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Troy University and specialize in offering compassionate, evidence-based care to children, teens, and adults. I work with individuals facing anxiety, ADHD, OCD, depression, eating disorders, grief, and other life concerns. Whether you want to master practical self-regulation tools or simply need a safe space to be truly heard, I offer a warm, empathetic environment dedicated to helping you heal and move forward.
Therapy is a collaborative healing process—not a one-size-fits-all model. I draw from CBT, DBT, IFS, play therapy, sand tray therapy, and a variety of other therapies to meet you right where you are. I help you uncover your strengths, develop realworld coping tools, and process past experiences so you can navigate life with better ease and clarity.
Reaching out for support takes immense courage, but you don't have to navigate this season by yourself. Whether you are seeking practical coping strategies or a compassionate place to process heavy moments, I am here to support you every step of the way. I invite you to take the first step toward regaining your footing and schedule your initial session.

Eating disorder therapy is a specialized approach aimed at assisting those who are grappling with a range of eating disorders. These disorders are significant mental health conditions characterized by irregular or unhealthy eating patterns and an intense focus on body weight and shape. Common conditions addressed in Eating disorders include anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge-eating disorder, and avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID).
At Thriveworks, Eating disorders begins with a thorough assessment and personalized treatment plan. Central to eating disorder therapy is psychotherapy, often employing cognitive behavioral therapy and other specialized techniques to target negative thought patterns.
The signs of an eating disorder can include:
CBT’s remission rate, according to some research, is generally between 50-30% for those seeking assistance for eating disorder symptoms.

Eating disorder therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The length of Eating disorders will vary from one person to the next, dependent on their specific needs. Your therapist can help to determine what might be most beneficial for you.
