Tigard, Oregon Peter Skutt, Therapy Clinician

Peter Skutt helps teens and adults across Oregon explore challenges, gain insight, and build healthier ways of relating to themselves and others. As a Counselor Associate at LifeStance Health, he offers a thoughtful and collaborative therapeutic experience for individuals navigating anxiety, depression, and trauma. Peter creates a grounded, nonjudgmental space where clients can better understand their inner world and develop practical strategies to improve emotional well-being and daily functioning. Peter is especially passionate about working with anxiety, depression, and PTSD/trauma, integrating approaches such as art therapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS)/parts work into his care. He believes that creative expression and deeper self-exploration can unlock meaningful healing, helping clients process complex emotions, resolve internal conflicts, and move toward greater self-acceptance. His work is guided by curiosity and respect for each client’s unique story and pace. His therapeutic approach incorporates evidence-based methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness practices. In addition to these approaches, Peter offers additional modalities tailored to individual needs. He works with a range of populations, including first responders and LGBTQ+ individuals, providing affirming and culturally responsive care. Peter works with teens, adults, and older adults, supporting clients through various life stages and transitions. Whether addressing relationship concerns, identity exploration, or stress-related challenges, he focuses on helping clients build resilience and lasting change. Outside of his clinical work, Peter enjoys creating ceramic art, spending time in nature with his dog, and relaxing with a good book alongside his cat. These personal interests reflect his appreciation for creativity, balance, and mindfulness.
