Kristen Anderson, LPC

(She/Her)

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (License #10815) specializing in trauma-informed practices to address a wide range of issues and concerns. My professional journey includes extensive experience in group private practice and diverse community mental health settings. Both my Masters in Human Relations - Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Bachelor of Arts in Psychology were conferred by the University of Oklahoma.

As the owner of Enlightened Roots Therapy + Counseling in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, I am dedicated to fostering authentic self-discovery and healing through the therapeutic relationship. My approach integrates emotion-focused, client-centered, strength-based, and trauma-informed practices. These methods empower clients to transcend maladaptive patterns that hinder fulfillment in life.

I am committed to creating a treatment environment that is collaborative, inviting, and conducive to healing, providing a solid foundation for managing life's challenges. Central to my practice is nurturing clients' self-worth, promoting freedom from shame, fear, insecurity, and guilt. This approach aims to facilitate a meaningful and enlightened outlook on your personhood.

I specialize in working with individuals seeking deeper clarity and exploring existential questions, including challenges related to religious belief systems and family dynamics, with an emphasis on a spiritual (non-religious) lifestyle. If you're an adult navigating complex relationships with parents or caregivers, and have often felt like you didn't quite fit in, contending with challenges like self-esteem, striving for perfection, and managing anxiety, know that you've found a supportive environment. Together, we can work towards breaking free from patterns of family dysfunction. Additionally, I have a profound dedication to supporting the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, understanding and addressing the unique societal challenges they encounter.
