Emily Anderson
M.Ed. Registered Psychologist
Psychology
I have worked with - but am not limited to working with – individuals suffering from depression and/or anxiety; parents of neurodiverse children; young adults and adults navigating life transitions; those who are grieving – whether it is a loss of a loved one, lost sense of self, or a path never taken. I am not booking child and/or teen clients under the age of sixteen at this time. I come from an integrationist background meaning that I have learned many different modes of therapy and work to identify what modes work best for each client. I have training in individual, couples, and family therapy. Recent additional training includes Dr. Sue Johnson’s Emotion Focused Therapy and Marsha Linehan’s Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. I use a gentle, compassionate, and client led approach. My main goal is to help you identify the change you would like to make while supporting and helping you navigate the process in meeting that goal. If you are uncertain of your goals or simply want a listening ear, I can provide that support as well. If tools are what you’re after, I’ve got those too.
What is Psychology?
Also known as therapy
Therapy is a unique process where the experience of the mind and brain are explored with the purpose of improving mental-wellbeing. In therapy you can expect a lot of questions and conversational components - after all, we can only get to know the mind through discussing it. My job as a psychologist is to assist you as you explore how your mind and brain work and to provide the knowledge and guidance on how to improve your mental wellness. This can include tools (practical ways to work with your mind and body for your wellbeing) and understanding (education on what the brain can do/what is a human reaction and what has been making you feel crazy).
Why I Care
At Dendrite Psychology, your well-being is my priority. I am dedicated to understanding your unique brain and providing support that is compassionate, respectful, and tailored to you. Together, we can navigate the path towards a healthier mind.
