Peter Meilahn, LPC

Peter Meilahn is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oregon with 16 years of clinical experience. He helps adults and teens improve focus, calm, and emotional balance, especially around ADHD, anxiety, depression, sleep issues, trauma, autism, chronic stress, and pain-related self-regulation.

His work is practical and structured. Sessions mix conversation with hands-on skills you can use between meetings. He may include mindfulness practices and optional brain-based tools such as biofeedback to train attention and calm in real time.

Peter often balances short-term problem solving with longer-term skill building. Some people notice sleep, stress, or attention improvements quickly, and the techniques strengthen with practice. He describes learning these skills like learning to ride a bike - repetition makes them more automatic.

He commonly works with professionals, entrepreneurs, and creative people who feel capable yet inconsistent in focus or productivity. Meetings can be collaborative conversations or more structured sessions that include assessments to map attention, stress, and energy patterns.

Peter draws from cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, mindfulness, attachment-based ideas, and existential approaches. He uses these methods to help people build better focus, stronger emotional regulation, and more consistent performance at work or school.

His background includes teaching attention and regulation tools at the University of Minnesota Medical Center and other organizations, and developing a biofeedback training program used within a large Minnesota health system. He also has experience supporting people with trauma, chronic health conditions, and work-related stress.
