Getting to know Dana Andersen

Great to meet you! As a board-certified licensed professional clinical counselor. I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and stability in life. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, so congratulations on taking that step! I’ve been practicing for 16 years, but in the last decade, I have shifted my main focus to clients aged 20-65 who are struggling with anxiety, grief, trauma, and/ or depression. My approach A bit about my approach to therapy: Everyone has a unique story and deserves an individualized approach to care. Once we decide to work together, we’ll act as partners in your therapeutic journey. It’s important to me that we communicate openly and that you feel respected in our relationship. I’ll be there to listen to you, challenge you, and support you along the way. My focus What you can expect from our first session, I always start with an introductory session, where you’ll have the opportunity to share your story and what you hope to achieve in therapy. We’ll work together to figure this out! I strive to create a warm, welcoming environment that allows you to feel comfortable sharing and being vulnerable, while also feeling secure. From there, we’ll work together in the sessions that follow to make these goals a reality for you. My communication style In sessions, we can work together to set goals to better manage difficulties, along with validating self-worth and advocacy. I like to set the tone for sessions as comfortable and safe, creating an atmosphere for openly sharing. My journey to mental healthcare I have always had a strong desire to help people, followed by pursuing my degree in psychology and counseling. I enjoy working in the behavioral health arena and take great pride in the work My goals for you I believe people have a unique ability to solve their problems with support and guidance. My approach to therapy is person-centered, soultion focused and building interpersonal resilience.
