Great to meet you!

I am Kelly Andersen, MS, LPCC, LADC, and EMDR Certified. For 18 years, I have been walking beside people of many backgrounds and living environments through their hardest moments—listening, guiding, and cheering for lives to take shape in ways once thought impossible. My education & certifications include a Master's of Science in Clinical Psychology and Certification in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I am a board approved supervisor for other emerging therapists in Minnesota. I have repeatedly worked with clients who achieved success after they once believed they couldn't.

My approach to therapy

I work with clients through the lens of simply being another human being willing to listen and explore solutions to life-related, unresolved problems. Good therapists don’t solely focus on the techniques they personally know best and have used for years. Good therapists research what they don’t understand; Explain their ideas clearly to their clients; They put techniques and a timeline in place for anticipated progress. Function transparently through clearly written treatment plans that are revisited & regularly discussed with their clients. It takes courage to begin, it takes courage to keep going, and it takes courage to finish therapy. Upon completion, you will have a whole new view on who you are as a human being, and what you plan to do next.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, we will discuss the areas of your life that you believe need work, your goals, find the best starting point, and evaluate who supports you through your changes. We will gather the information needed to assess the severity of the areas we choose to work on and discuss specific goals.
