Kathy Anderson (She/Her)

Approach Description: My work with couples is highly collaborative and flexible towards their needs. Folks that I work with experience meaningful change through a blend of practical skill building, verbal processing, and psychoeducation throughout the course of treatment. I believe that couple therapy can be an enjoyable process, so I laugh with the folks that I sit with -- a LOT -- while still making sure to move couples towards their unique goals for their relationship. As far as clinical training goes, I've been practicing for four years, and all of my schooling and professional training has been centered around relationships and trauma. I am very comfortable with couple relationships, as well as the issues that intimate relationships tend to face. I interpret each couple's presenting issues through Attachment Theory, interpersonal neurobiology, and nervous system functioning. This allows me to adjust pacing, interventions, and processing to every partner's unique needs. In couple therapy, I work with my folks to not only talk about change, but to also practice it. For those of you who are interested, I am Level 2 trained in the Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy (PACT), as well as basic trained in EMDR and Restoration Therapy. These approaches support how I show up with couples and what I do as a clinician. As a result, the couples I work with get a friendly but direct and practical approach to working through their struggles.
