The practice offers therapy for couples, individuals, children, and teens. Stated specialties include relationship issues, marriage counseling, divorce recovery, recovery from affairs, family therapy, step and blended family concerns, aging and retirement transitions, parenting concerns, depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, LGBTQ services, career and workplace consulting, midlife challenges, crisis intervention, and what the site describes as “new beginnings.”
Dr. Anderson’s stated therapeutic approach emphasizes interactive, results-driven dialogue rather than traditional passive therapy methods, and incorporates personal coaching techniques alongside psychotherapy.
