Tyler Peterson, Nurse Practitioner
Tyler Peterson helps adults across Utah gain stability, clarity, and relief from overwhelming mental health symptoms through thoughtful medication management and therapy at LifeStance Health. Serving patients throughout UT, he partners with young adults, working professionals, and seniors to address complex concerns with a balanced, evidence-based approach. As a psychiatric prescriber, Tyler integrates clinical expertise with compassionate care to support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder, while also offering treatment for a wide range of additional mental health conditions. Tyler is especially passionate about treating ADHD, alcohol and drug use issues, and sleep disorders. He understands how challenges with focus, impulsivity, substance use, and chronic insomnia can disrupt relationships, work performance, and overall well-being. Using targeted medication management, CBT for Insomnia (CBT-I), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based strategies, he creates individualized treatment plans designed to restore healthy sleep patterns, improve concentration, and reduce cravings or relapse risk. His work emphasizes practical tools and measurable progress so patients can regain control of their daily lives. In addition to these focus areas, Tyler provides care for adults experiencing PTSD, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and life transitions, including midlife and later life changes. He offers specialized support for first responders, military veterans, and members of the LGBTQ+ community, recognizing the unique stressors these populations may face. His style is collaborative and direct, ensuring patients feel heard while benefiting from clear clinical guidance. Outside of his professional work, Tyler enjoys going to the gym, playing video games, spending time outdoors, and being with his family—activities that reflect his belief in balance and sustainable wellness.
