I have been in private practice for over 25 years as a licensed counseling psychologist. Contact Dr. Anderson at 913-991-2302 to learn more about his work in corporate management positions.

As a child growing up overseas, I experienced the need to study and develop skills useful to enter and join at will diverse groups and cultures. After completing a Masters degree in sociology and teaching college for several years, I went back to school for the PhD in counseling psychology. I wanted a more close and personal involvement with people, marriages and family relationships which the classroom did not afford.

Two things characterized my practice: 1) a strategic, solution focused perspective which 2) takes context, particularly interpersonal dynamics, into account. With this practical systemic approach, I work with people, couples and corporate management teams to develop solutions which not only give them the successes they want, but does so in a way that sustains those achievements.

It is often assumed that when a goal is achieved it will be sustained. My experience is the opposite. Being successful is easy compared to the challenge of sustaining that success. A large part of my expertise is helping people be successful with their goals in the unique ways necessary to maintain those goals, once achieved.

Services
I provide the context and skill sets for couples and marriages to:
* build bridges between angry wives and cold husbands
* develop communication skills which reduce conflict and escalating tension
* recover trust lost due to trauma, including infidelity
* manage addictions including alcohol, drugs, sex and emotional abuse
* manage and sustain joyful intimacy on all levels of the relationship

I enable corporate executives to:
* manage business and work stress
* regain balance between work and home life
* manage and enhance their careers despite obstacles and challenges

I work with corporate management and executive teams to unravel human snarls that lead to low productivity.
