Dr. Monika Peterson
Specialties
Bio
Dr. Monika Peterson is a licensed clinical psychologist with over 22 years of experience treating eating disorders, disordered eating, purging, over-exercising, and body image concerns, along with anxiety and depression. A Certified Eating Disorders Specialist, she pairs deep academic training with two decades of real-world clinical practice.
Her approach is size-inclusive and non-diet, grounded in the belief that lasting healing happens when clients feel respected in their bodies rather than at war with them. Drawing on ACT, CBT, and DBT, Dr. Peterson helps clients build a more flexible, compassionate relationship with food, movement, and self.
"I bring a grounded, size-inclusive, non-diet approach — rooted in academic rigor and real-world practice."
Dr. Peterson practices from Gilbert, Arizona and offers a hybrid of in-person and virtual sessions. She is in-network with Aetna, BCBS, and Cigna, and provides superbills for out-of-network reimbursement.
