About Rachel Linn Petersen-Nguyen

About The Provider

I love providing care for young patients and their families in the primary care setting. My care for children and adolescents focuses on prevention whenever possible. I enjoy helping children and adolescents as they are struggling with mental health conditions. This means working to support to their families as well. I have a lot of experience in providing care for children and adolescents with eating disorders, ADHD, as well as anxiety and depression. I provide weight inclusive care that rejects diet culture. I have special interest in supporting health concerns for patients in the LGBTQIA+ community. When I am not providing care for patients and their families, I enjoy yoga, meditation, swimming, spending time with my wife and our blended family, reading, writing, and cooking.

        Because they took good care of my son, they explained to me clearly what was happening with him, and that's all.

        She's amazing and makes my children feel so comfortable, heard and safe. She explains things so well and in a way that they understand. They enjoy going to the doctor just to see her!! She's wise and so knowledgeable. My older kids are sad that she can't be their doctor forever!

        We've seen this doctor before, Dr. Petersen, and she just is really good and really thorough and really listens and is able to help us figure out what we're dealing with.
