Chanda Anderson

I 'am a Licensed Professional Counselor, in the state of Georgia. In addition to being a Licensed Professional Counselor, I' am a National Certified Counselor (NCC) through the National Board of certified Counselors (NBCC). I am also a member of the Licensed Professional Counselor's of Georgia (LPCGA). I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology, and a Master’s Degree in Mental Health Counseling.

I have worked with patients while in crises at local emergency departments across the metropolitan Atlanta area. With 10 years of clinical experience, I have also worked with couples, adolescents, and individuals from all walks of life. I have experience facilitating groups that have been court-mandated, such as domestic violence, and substance abuse. I have worked at Riverwoods Behavioral Hospital as a Mobile Assessor, Manager of the Mobile Team, and Director of the Mobile Team. I completed my internships/practicum at Road to Recovery.

I like to use cognitive-behavioral theoretical approach …(CBT), and a person-centered approach (PCT). I believe in allowing clients to take more of a lead in sessions, while exhibiting unconditional positive regard, showing empathy. This approach is important to me in that it allows me to create a safe space, while offering a non-judgmental environment during session. Being able to encourage the client without interfering during their self-discovery process is also a model that I hold. My clinical specialties include anxiety, depression, anger management, couple therapy, group therapy, substance abuse, psychosis, dual diagnosis, and other disorders to name a few.
