These sessions use therapeutic, trauma-informed, clinical relationship tools to resolve conflict, align vision, and establish healthy governance structures so that business goals don't destroy your professional relationships… or the founder(s).

The Approach: A non-judgmental, future-focused partnership designed to create a "business-like" alliance between parents solely focused on the child's well-being. We focus on logistics, boundaries, and child-centered communication rather than rehashing relationship grievances.
Key Distinction: Unlike couples therapy, the goal of this work is not to fix the romantic relationship or uncover deep emotional trauma. It aims to build a functional framework for raising children together (or apart) effectively.

Professional Licensure. Emily Ann Peterson, LMHCA, is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the State of Washington, licensed under RCW 18.225 and regulated by the Washington State Department of Health (DOH). Clinical mental health counseling services offered through Jupiter Pines Counseling are provided exclusively to residents of Washington State. A Mandatory Disclosure Statement, as required by WAC 246-809-710 and RCW 18.130, is provided to each clinical client before treatment begins. Complaints regarding professional conduct may be filed with the Washington State Department of Health.
Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Clinical mental health counseling encompasses assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of mental health disorders; development and implementation of treatment plans; individual, family, and group psychotherapy; and crisis intervention, as authorized under RCW 18.225. These services are conducted within the scope of the LMHCA license, are subject to applicable confidentiality laws (including HIPAA and Washington State statutes), and carry the protections and obligations of licensed clinical practice, including mandated reporting under Washington law.
Coaching Services. Coaching services are offered as a non-clinical adjunct and are distinctly separate from clinical mental health counseling. Coaching is goal-oriented, focused on personal or professional development, performance enhancement, and skill-building. Coaching does *not* involve clinical assessment, diagnosis, or treatment of mental health disorders, and does not constitute psychotherapy or mental health counseling under RCW 18.225. When engaging in coaching, the provider is acting outside the scope of the LMHC license. Coaching clients are not classified as clinical patients, are not afforded the same confidentiality protections as clinical clients (e.g., privileged communication under RCW 18.225), and do not receive a clinical diagnosis or treatment plan. If clinical concerns arise during coaching, a referral to a qualified licensed mental health professional will be recommended. Referrals will be made for providers licensed in the client's state or jurisdiction as appropriate. Emily Ann Peterson is licensed only in Washington State; clinical services beyond the scope of this LMHCA license are restricted by state law.
Support Groups. Support groups facilitated through Jupiter Pines Counseling LLC are psychoeducational and peer-support in nature. Unless explicitly designated as clinical group therapy in advance and in writing, support groups are not clinical mental health counseling and do not involve individualized diagnosis or treatment planning. Participation in support groups does not establish a clinical therapist-patient relationship. Confidentiality within support groups is maintained through group agreements; however, confidentiality cannot be guaranteed to the same extent as in individual clinical sessions. Mandated reporting obligations apply regardless of the group format.
Workshops and Educational Offerings. Workshops, training, and seminars are educational and provided for informational and professional development purposes only. They do not constitute clinical mental health counseling, psychotherapy, psychological assessment, or medical advice, and no therapeutic relationship is established by attendance. Workshop content is not a substitute for individualized clinical care. Participants are encouraged to consult with a licensed mental health professional for concerns requiring clinical attention.
Good Faith Estimate. Pursuant to the No Surprises Act (Public Law 116-260), clients who are uninsured or self-pay for clinical services are entitled to a Good Faith Estimate of expected charges. This estimate is provided upon scheduling or upon request.
Non-Discrimination. All services are provided without discrimination on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, age, sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, disability, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by applicable federal, state, or local law.
Limitation of Scope. Emily Ann Peterson, LMHCA, is not a licensed psychologist, psychiatrist, physician, or medication prescriber. Clinical mental health counseling is not a substitute for medical evaluation or treatment. In emergencies, call 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline), 911, or proceed to the nearest emergency department.
