Peter Nelson

He/Him/His

While moonlighting as a 988 suicide & crisis counselor, Peter (he/him) decided to leave his previous career as a software engineer to help those in need full-time. Peter believes that all people deserve compassion and respect regardless of ethnicity, religion, or gender and sexual identities. He tries to hear each individual’s unique story in an effort to support them. He has a passion for working with adults of all ages (18+) facing depression, anxiety, and life transitions. Having made a substantial career change himself, Peter is passionate about supporting others navigating their own career challenges.

Peter likes to explore how we find meaning in our lives and what is preventing us from achieving our goals and finding inner peace. His calm, humorous approach creates a supportive and engaging environment to explore your difficulties without judgment. Outside of counseling, Peter enjoys video games, staying active, and cooking delicious vegan food.

Peter is a Counseling Intern currently in his final year of study in the University of Minnesota’s Counselor Education master’s program and is working under the licensed supervision of Theresa Voss, LP.
