Over human history, people have mostly lived in close-knit communities. This has eroded with the advances in transportation and technology. Most people have lost much of the social support our forebearers enjoyed. Mental Health Professionals have taken on this role in their respective communities and are an excellent resource for you to realize your strengths and improve your well-being. When your car breaks down you take it to a mechanic. When your tooth hurts you see a dentist. When your mental health can use a “tune-up,” see a Mental Health Professional!

EMDR therapy helps clients process traumatic memories so they no longer feel stuck in survival mode and begin to reconnect with safety, dignity and resilience. Therapy can be a place to understand these dynamics with compassion by honoring our parents and grandparents' sacrifices while creating space to heal from what was passed down.

I am committed to helping my clients understand how their past experiences impact their current lives.

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 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.
