About Kris Anderson, MA, LAMFT
My passion for therapy and helping others grew out of my own personal therapy experience 12 years ago. At that time, I was struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, and a binge eating disorder. Through individual counseling, I learned that my negative beliefs about myself and ignoring my emotions were affecting my ability to move forward in my life. I discovered the importance of setting boundaries, communicating my needs, and prioritizing self-care. These insights and skills have been invaluable in my personal and professional life, and I am passionate about sharing them with others.
Specialties
I offer a range of counseling services, including:
- Individual Counseling: I work with adults who are seeking support with a variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and emotional eating. I use a range of evidence-based therapies, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), to help you heal and move forward.
- Family Counseling: I work with parents and families to develop healthy communication patterns, set loving limits, and create a more peaceful home environment. I help families navigate challenging transitions, such as blending families and adjusting to new family roles.
- Couples Therapy: I work with couples to strengthen their relationships by building empathy, compassion, and trust. I use evidence-based therapies, such as Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), to help couples break patterns of disconnection and build more emotionally bonding patterns. I also offer Prepare/Enrich couple's assessments to help couples strengthen their relationships.
