Parker Anderson

My name is Parker Anderson, my pronouns are he/they. I earned my Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling with a specialization in Addictions from Lewis & Clark College in 2022. My clinical training and professional experience have centered on addiction and recovery, co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders, crisis intervention, suicidality and self-harm, trauma, grief and loss, and the exploration of identity across the lifespan.

Over the past seven years, I have worked in residential, intensive outpatient (IOP), and outpatient treatment settings, supporting individuals with diverse backgrounds and complex clinical needs. These experiences have strengthened my commitment to providing compassionate, evidence-informed care while recognizing the inherent resilience each person brings into the therapeutic process.

Seeking therapy is an act of courage, and I believe healing begins in a relationship where you feel genuinely seen, heard, and valued. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, respected, cared for, and welcomed to explore the deeper layers of your identity, experiences, and relationships. I view therapy as a collaborative process rooted in curiosity, authenticity, and compassion. Together, we will identify meaningful goals for your care while honoring your unique story, strengths, and resilience.

I believe each person's experiences are shaped not only by their individual history but also by their cultural identities, social locations, relationships, and the broader systems in which they live. Through a social justice-informed and trauma-responsive lens, we will explore your personal worldview, build upon your existing strengths, and work toward lasting growth and healing. It is a privilege and an honor to bear witness to each person's story.

My approach is collaborative, relational, and person-centered. I strive to create an environment where you can bring every part of yourself without fear of judgment. Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, addiction, identity development, life transitions, or relationship challenges, I believe therapy can provide an opportunity to deepen self-understanding, reconnect with your values, and move toward a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling.

I respect that healing is not a one-size-fits-all process. Together, we will develop goals that reflect your values, honor your lived experiences, and support meaningful, sustainable change. My hope is that you leave each session feeling more connected to yourself, empowered by your strengths, and supported throughout your journey.

I recognize that healing is not a one-size-fits-all process. Together, we will develop goals that reflect your values, honor your lived experiences, and support meaningful, sustainable change. My hope is that you leave each session feeling more connected to yourself, empowered by your strengths, and supported throughout your journey. Through our collaboration, we will work towards exploring your personal worldview to affirm your strengths. I am honored to bare witness to your story.

Our first session will be exploring your history and naming initial goals together of how we are able to partner together, decide of how often we meet and for how long whether 45-60 minutes. I offer individual therapy sessions in the evenings on weekdays and during the day on the weekends.
