Jamie Andersen, M.A., LMFT

I offer a warm and encouraging, down-to-earth approach to therapy. Therapeutic interventions are rooted in respect, acceptance and validation to facilitate successful navigation of challenging life circumstances. I am a lifelong learner and participate in a regular consultation group to improve my therapy skills. I regularly attend conferences and trainings to gain knowledge in traditional and nontraditional therapy techniques. I am open minded and believe that people grow and heal in many different ways. I have been trained in various models of treatment and adapt interventions to client needs and preferences. In addition to traditional "talk therapy", I also offer EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) and Brain Spotting. Other models of therapy that I utilize include DBT (Dialectical and Behavioral Therapy), CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) and Comprehensive Resource Model. Many of my clients are high functioning individuals interested in gaining skills, strategies and a positive mindset to impact their life. I also enjoy working with helping professionals who want to do their own work. Education and Credentials: I received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Psychology from Florida State University, and a Master's degree in Psychology with an emphasis in marriage, family, and child counseling from Chapman University. Since 2000, I have been licensed as a Colorado Marriage and Family Therapist.
