I specialize in anxiety, grief and trauma and use a mind/body approach that will support you in taking action to effect the change you seek. I am skilled at knowing others and facilitating a process that deepens your self understanding and how to make changes in your life that yield new and adequate solutions to problems. Many people come to me after traditional talk therapy, wanting to explore a more interactive and experiential approach. I have a deep respect for the wisdom of the body; and I promote awareness of body, mind and spirit during sessions. Committed clients can work on core issues in an environment offering creativity and safety. I am a licensed clinical social worker and a board certified practitioner of psychodrama, sociometry and group psychotherapy. I have over 12 years of experience supporting individuals and groups.

I am a certified Imago Relationship Therapist and a Brainspotting Therapist with 20+ years of experience. If you are ready to take that first step to creating meaningful change in your life and your relationships, I look forward to working with you. Contact me for a free 20-minute phone consultation.

I'm here to help you to heal past trauma and grow into the person you would like to become, allowing you to thrive in your life and relationships. I utilize EMDR and Brainspotting therapy to help release the trauma and calm the body's nervous system. I can also help support your relationships, support you during times of grief and loss, and help LGBTQ+ community members maintain an authentic sense of self in light of the stigma they face. I became a counselor so that I could help others experience their own transformation through counseling. In my counseling practice, I provide a safe space, or a healing ground, where empathy, trust, respect, and acceptance are cornerstones.

I was trained in Contemplative Psychotherapy and bring an understanding of mindfulness and an emphasis in creating a nonjudgmental, open space for therapy. My understanding of the integration of Western psychological methods with Eastern contemplative practices forms the heart of my therapeutic orientation. http://www.ianandersen.net/
