Hi, my name is Gerald Anderson. I am a licensed Therapist in California, an LMFT. I have worked as a therapist for a long time. Helping people from many diverse back grounds. I have worked with couples, individuals, and children, helping them to have the support and the tools to process and work through their problems, marital conflicts. I have also worked with drug involved individuals, who are in recovery and I am familiar with the 12 step process.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session we will talk about your problems or marital issues. I will learn about you, you will learn about me, and together we will work on a treatment plan that you feel comfortable with to address any of the questions you may have about the process of therapy.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have a great deal of experience understanding emotional and marital issues, and how they block growth both for individuals and for couples.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Couples Counseling
I use a perspective based approach to couples counseling based on, the work or Robert Selman who developed a developmental approach to counseling and therapy. I Also use a family systems approach as well as ,cognitive behavioral therapy and psychodynamic therapy.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I help couples develop perspectives toward each others emotions, in order to be responsive to their partners needs. This facilitates the development, of a coordinated perspective on their relationship.
Family Therapy
I use family therapy, to help families develop appropraite boundaries with each other to discourage conflict, and negative behaviors.
Psychodynamic
I use this therapy to help clients resolve issues related to PTSD.
