Kristin Anderson, LCSW

The best part of the work for me is seeing genuine progress and healing in my clients. Seeing clients achieve the goals that they have set for themselves is a wonderful experience. Very often, as a therapist, I may be one of the people who most fully understand the progress that a client has made and what their successes mean for them. My job allows me to act as a client’s biggest cheerleader, genuinely celebrate their successes, and help remind them of how far they’ve come. Sometimes, depending on the need of the client, specific tasks can be useful.

Starting therapy can take courage and a little leap of faith to start out. Walking into the room and sitting with a therapist requires a level of vulnerability that you may not have experienced before. But, as all things in life, it’s the experiences where we allow ourselves to be open, authentic, and vulnerable that give us the greatest opportunities for growth. Therapy provides a warm, empathetic and safe space to explore whatever it is that you are struggling with and find new ways of living.

You’ve already taken the first step forward by landing here. I encourage you to reach out so that we can take the next step together.

My own style of participation is not one-size-fits-all. With some clients, I act as a sounding board and provide a space to discuss whatever it is that they are struggling with. With these clients, I take the backseat on our journey together. For most clients, however, I provide much more active participation. I dive into the work with the client and help them to explore new ways of coping and living. I try to help clients to look at things from multiple viewpoints and highlight things they may be missing. Before starting work with a client, I believe it’s important to have a conversation about what is most useful for the specific client so that we can work most efficiently together.
