He also taught at the University of Colorado in Colorado Springs, Colorado; Argosy University in Denver, Colorado; Avila University in Kansas City, Missouri; and Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois.

Over the past decade Dr. Peterson served as a faculty mentor for the QUAD Innovation Alliance, a joint-university collaboration between the United States Air Force Academy and the University of Colorado, developing best-practices for in-school suicide prevention, intervention, and treatment planning.
