Hello, my name is Kirsten Anderson and I received my Master’s degree in Counseling from Crown College, where I also received my Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology. While working toward my degree, I interned with Lighthouse Counseling and decided to continue in the company after falling in love with the environment, values, and clientele that they provide.

I tend to use a variety of different therapeutic approaches to best serve the individual. This leads me to use more of an integrative approach as I believe that everyone is unique in their needs and no one approach is a one size fits all model. I see people as biopsychosocial-spiritual beings and believe that mental, physical, and spiritual health are all important and all have an impact on one other. I believe that the therapeutic environment should be open, honest, comfortable, trusting, goal-oriented, and non-judgmental.

I am currently available to work with individuals ages 12 and up as well as couples in person from the Hutchinson office or via telehealth.

My specialty areas include:

-Anxiety

-Depression

-Behavioral issues

-Stress management

-Life adjustments

-Self-Esteem

-Spirituality

-Relationship Issues

-Trauma

-Adolescent/Teens
