Getting to know Dr. Randi Anderson
I am a therapist who believes in a collaborative approach. I value the importance of providing tools, worksheets, and referrals to community or support groups to ensure that my clients can build a support community if they choose and have sufficient tools to use long after our time together is complete. My investment looks toward your current and future functioning and ways to help you find free or low-cost supplemental supports when we are not "in session" or after our relationship concludes. I hold a Doctor of Social Work from Walden University, a Master's in Social Work from City University of New York, Hunter College, and a Juris Doctor from New York Law School.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I approach my work through the lens of what my client's strengths are and how they have already developed coping mechanisms. Most of my clients work and are driven professionally and as such, I understand they need tools that they can implement in their often face-based days. I meet my clients where they are at but I also hold them accountable while being someone that they can comfortably describe any feeling of guilt, shame or frustration.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I use several approaches such as talk therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, strengths perspective, and a narrative approach. I also provide LGBTQA+ affirmative practice and offer a multicultural and anti-racist approach

Considering this is my first experience having a counselor and not really understanding what to do or how I'm supposed to cope, I'd like to mention how much I appreciate Randi Anderson and the work she's put in for me. I think the most crucial aspect of a counselor is their ability to listen, understand, and advice, and she goes above and beyond in her role. She doesn't force the conversation, rather leads it by directing your attention to think and talk about subjects and guide your thought process to a natural conclusion. I whole - heartedly recommend Randi Anderson to anyone for the amazing counselor that she is.

Ms. Anderson is very detailed in her level of listening and very thoughtful in her response. She always clarifies the message and gives me tools that I can use when I get the most stressed at work or in other areas of my life.

Randi Anderson is professional, kind, and a great listener. I feel very safe talking to her as a Latino, gay man, and she provides a great sounding board and relevant actionable tools with absolutely no judgment. She encouraged me to reach out to her between sessions on a regular basis, and is very responsive. I work in the legal profession, and had incredible difficulty dealing with work place culture and unrealistic expectations that was making me sick and tired, all of the time. Ms. Anderson has done wonders by offering me tools and worksheets that help me to re - frame difficult thoughts and building boundaries, self - expression, self care, creating work and work - life balance, and issues around homophobia I still experience in my life. If you are considering starting therapy, or going back to therapy after a long break, or even breaking ground on something you're ready to work on, I would highly recommend Randi. She has some amazing self - care exercises that I can incorporate in my day to day work time that within a few minutes really works!

Randi Anderson is wonderful, and I'm so thankful to be working with her. She's always there and really goes out of her way to respond to messages, accommodate my crazy schedule, and it's clear to see how much she cares for her clients. I've recommended her to many of my coworkers, friends, and family.

Randi Anderson has been thoughtful, strong, kind, and a beacon. She gives me tools to navigate what I'm feeling and experiencing, challenges me when I need it, and gives me grace in moments where it's most important. She's a great therapist, and I am so grateful for her.

I have been working with Ms. Anderson for over two years soon after I started taking hormones while I transition my gender identification. She has been extremely helpful in working through this process both in tangible ways as well as understanding how to help me psychologically and spiritually. I feel really fortunate to have found all of this experience, kindness and knowledge wrapped up into one person.
