Getting to know Dr. Sanford Pederson
Hi there, I'm Sanford!
My name is Sanford Pederson. I hold a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University of Maine and am licensed in Indiana as a Psychologist with a Health Service Provider in Psychology Endorsement. I've been doing psychotherapy for several decades. My approach to therapy varies from client to client. I have experience in most orientations to therapy and tailor both my theoretical orientation and technique according to what the client wants to be different in their life. I follow where you go.
**My approach**
My therapeutic approach is client-centered. For me, that means I use whatever combination of theoretical approaches to therapy I think will be the most useful in providing the client with the tools to make the changes in their life that they want to see.
**My focus**
I work with a diverse group of men and women aged 18 and up. All gender identities and cultural identities are welcome. I am experienced and comfortable with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, personality issues, cognitive difficulties, and substance abuse.
**My communication style**
I prefer to create a safe and welcoming environment where the client feels free to express whatever ideas and emotions they wish to. Where they feel free to be exactly who they are without pretense.
**My journey to mental healthcare**
I started in college working on the campus Helpline. I discovered that I had some aptitude for the work and enjoyed it. I then changed my undergraduate major to psychology and continued to earn my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology.
**My goals for you**
I typically ask the client within the first one or two sessions what their goals for therapy are. These are always subject to change by the client.
