Abram Andersen
Hello, my name is Abram Andersen. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have worked in the field for 12 years. I strongly believe healthy relationships are the foundation for a happy healthy life. Relationships really matter! Sometimes things like depression, anxiety, and trauma can get in the way of experiencing relationships to their fullest.
I feel one of my greatest strengths is to quickly build rapport with clients, and provide some immediate tools that may help to reduce symptoms in a timely manner and get one back to enjoying life.
I am a holistic therapist who specializes in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). With the CBT approach, we say, “Thoughts create feelings and feelings create behaviors or actions. We can work together to help you better understand your thoughts, feelings, and why you might behave as you do.
First session
First sessions will include an assessment, and an opportunity to get to know one another better and evaluate if the client therapist fit is works.
