Dr. Liana Nelson Peterson

Liana K. Nelson-Peterson is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Clinician with 20 years of experience in mental health. Liana started her career with the intention of dedicating herself to inspire more people of color to feel free and empowered to seek therapy without fearing rejection within their community. Liana initially started her career as a Family Support Case manager with the Missouri Division of Social Services. Liana continues to work with individuals—young and seasoned—families, and couples to help build connections by teaching and educating the dynamics of grief, complicated grief, levels of intimacy and attachment. Liana carries a Masters of Art in Counseling at Webster University and has obtained her Certification in Sex Therapy and Sex Addictions from MidAmerica Nazarene University. Liana is not afraid to explore the fears of conversation that people tend to avoid. Liana is a realist who is personable and relatable as she works on meeting each client where they are. … Liana couples the treatment of grief, intimacy, and attachment with the misconceptions about them. Grief is not always a physical loss! Intimacy is often thought of as the physical act of sex. Attachment is a learned connection to what we’re taught in our youth. We are all unique in our own right and Liana is not afraid to explore each level with you!
