Dr. Anderson

Psychotherapy

I see older adolescents, adults of all ages, couples and families in both my midtown Sacramento practice and online. I view therapy as a laboratory where you can safely explore more workable ways of relating to yourself and others. Just like in a lab, as you see the successes in therapy you can take them outside of the “lab” into your life and relationships.

Assessments

I do assessments for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, substance use disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorder.

For Healthcare Professionals

Having worked 13 years in a community hospital, I have a solid understanding of the unique challenges facing physicians and allied healthcare professionals. I bring this experience to my work in various ways.

As a therapist, I can work with you either in-person or online.  If you are seeking coaching or consultation services, no matter your location, we can work together online.

Psychotherapy

Physicians and allied health professionals face unique challenges atop everyday stressors, including long work hours, time pressures, high-stakes work environments where every mistake is amplified, and, often, psychological trauma related to their work. Burnout rates are historically high, and healthcare professionals need to marshal all their resources to stay healthy and hopeful while working under challenging conditions. To this end, I can help you identify and address mental health challenges and solutions that can help you to feel better at work and at home. I can be available during evenings and some weekend days to meet with you around your schedule – and meet with you either in-person or online.

Coaching

Figuring out one’s career goals while in the midst of a challenging work week is not easy. Many physicians and healthcare professionals are hiring coaches to help them identify and grow toward new types of work and roles they might want within healthcare. I offer coaching to help you identify and commit to your goals, build resiliency, and stay positive in your quest for professional fulfillment. Pricing for coaching is $250 for 60 minutes, $125 for 30 minutes. Many organizations allow physicians to use CME funds to pay for coaching, so you may want to check with yours.
