Kelly Pedersen

I have been in practice for more than 20 years and I work with a broad range of issues including depression, anxiety, trauma, loss and relationship concerns. I incorporate faith-based principles as desired and am inclusive of all backgrounds and orientations. Typically, I work from a cognitive-behavioral approach and I include other theoretical frameworks to provide more effective outcomes. It would truly be my honor and privilege to help anyone seeking growth and fulfillment in life.

I have a clear approach to counseling with people and it relates to what I see as the ideal outcome of such work. The highest goal, the gold standard of good counseling, is an increase in client morale, a significant growth of feeling competent and confident to work with the feelings and situations that brought you to counseling in the first place.

Counseling is a place for truthful conversations. And truthful conversations are redeeming. Through examination, life becomes richer — a place for exploring meaning, finding answers, and living in accordance with one's values. I work to help you arrive there.
