Edward “Andy” Anderson, LPC
EMDR Certified Therapist and Consultant
Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples Trained Therapist
Choosing a therapist is a deeply personal and pivotal step toward the changes you’re seeking. You’ve likely been preparing for this moment, reflecting on the shifts you want to make and wondering who can guide you through them. With so many therapists out there, finding the right fit is key—not every therapist will be the perfect match, and that’s okay. I recommend meeting with at least three to five therapists in person or virtually to find someone who feels right for you. Trust your instincts, and don’t settle for convenience alone.
Why I Do This Work
For over 20 years, I’ve dedicated myself to creating a safe, welcoming space where you can bring all of who you are—your emotions, thoughts, and experiences—without judgment. My greatest joy comes from seeing clients grow, heal, and find courage through our work together. Many of my referrals come from current or former clients who’ve sat in my office, shared their deepest struggles, and felt the transformative power of therapy. When they tell someone, “You should see my therapist,” it’s a testament to the trust we’ve built and the impact of our time together.
I’m equally honored by referrals from my peers. After 14 years in the Atlanta area, following my move from Denver, I’ve built strong connections with fellow therapists through trainings, conferences, and shared professional experiences. Their trust in referring clients to me is a source of pride and a reflection of my commitment to this craft. Increasingly, I’ve also had the privilege of supporting therapists and their spouses, which feels like a meaningful endorsement from those who understand the work deeply.
My Approach
My approach is rooted in empathy, humility, and a commitment to lifelong learning. I draw on advanced training in modalities like Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which are particularly effective for trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. Inspired by leaders in the field like Bessel van der Kolk, whose work in trauma (notably The Body Keeps the Score) underscores the mind-body connection, I strive to tailor therapy to your unique needs. Whether it’s reprocessing past pain with EMDR or rebuilding connection through EFT, my goal is to honor your courage and celebrate your growth.
I’m not here to offer one-size-fits-all solutions. Therapy with me is a collaborative process where your story is heard, your emotions are validated, and your goals guide our work. I continually pursue advanced training and consultation to refine my skills, ensuring I bring both expertise and introspection to every session. Like van der Kolk reflecting on how he might have used EMDR with a past client, I approach my work with humility, always seeking the best path to support your healing.
