We all have so many parts. Can you notice when different ones want to be heard?

Ask yourself: “What is this situation/part trying to tell me about what I need?”

Drop a 🩷 if you are open to treating all your sides with kindness…

Healing is so hard because it's a constant better between your inner child, who's scared and just want safety,
Your inner teenager, who's angry and just want justice,
And your adult self, who's tired and just wants peace -

Let us introduce you to our newest therapist, Mike Peyton, LMFT!

My name is Mike Peyton. I received a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Michigan State University in 1991. I have worked in various settings as a therapist. I am currently licensed in Michigan and Utah. For 18 years I was involved in adolescent residential treatment. It comes naturally for me to work with youth and their parents. I have five children between the ages of 37 and 26.

I have done experiential therapy including equine-based treatment. This included many trips into the mountains of Utah on horseback. It seems to be true that social patterns among horses, dogs, and people are quite similar. I have done outpatient therapy for clients of all ages. I am trained in family systems so addressing relationships is a core part of what I can help with. I don’t think there are any mental health diagnoses or circumstances that I have not had experience with over the last 33 years. I like to treat trauma-based problems.

I am a certified EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapist. Working with others to help them gain clarity, confidence and a sense of inner peace is the most rewarding thing I have done.
