Gaaren Anderson, a dedicated marriage and family therapist with credentials that include a Med and LMFT, believes in empowering clients by starting with their individual goals. His approach focuses on helping clients develop the necessary skills to navigate their own paths to happiness. Recognizing that solutions must reflect personal wishes for them to be effective in the long run, Gaaren emphasizes personal responsibility and control. He provides a unique blend of individual and couples therapy, understanding that some issues are best addressed one-on-one while others benefit from having both partners present. Rather than dwelling on past experiences without cause, he shifts the focus away from blame and encourages skill development, allowing clients to think for themselves. Gaaren's understanding of how individual desires contribute to the collective well-being, combined with his dual training in mental health, including anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors, positions him to effectively address both individual and relational dynamics within therapy.
