About Kegan
Kegan Anderson is a Supervisee in Social Work with 1 year of experience. His background is primarily working with children, adolescents, and parents using attachment-based, trauma-informed, and family therapy modalities in settings such as inpatient psychiatric units and intensive-in-home services. Now, Kegan is looking to expand his experience to work with adults and adolescents who experience depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, relationship challenges, and parenting challenges. Kegan would also like to work with the LGBTQ+ population to assist with barriers or challenges this population faces.
Kagan received his Master’s from Virginia Commonwealth University. He uses dialectical behavior therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed practices, attachment-based practices, and motivational interviewing to help you discover your needs and how you would best like them met.
Kegan understands how beneficial the therapist-client relationship can be in reaching goals and discussing vulnerable topics. Together, you will identify strengths and address barriers to change while embracing passion and joy. Kegan knows that therapy is a unique experience for everyone, and looks forward to helping you create a life worth living.
"My personal experience as a queer and trans individual combined with my professional experience gives me a unique understanding of the daily stressors in life, as well as the frustration with systems outside of our control."
Get to know Kegan
Why did you decide to become a counselor or psychiatric provider?
My mother became a Hospice Social Worker when I was 13 years old, and we would constantly talk about the helping nature of the job. That, combined with my own experience of being able to grow as a trans individual through therapeutic interventions, helped me understand that the helping profession was where I was meant to be.
Why did you choose to practice at Thriveworks?
Thriveworks allows me the ability to grow and expand upon my practices while providing the support needed to be successful.
What inspires you?
My inspiration comes from my determination to make a mark on this world, no matter how big or small.
What can clients expect in their first session with you?
Client's can expect me to be a listening observer who becomes curious, I enjoy curiously exploring my client's and truly understanding what they are looking for.
What do you want to accomplish with an individual in their first session?
Getting to understand your needs, challenges, and how you feel you can be best supported since you know yourself the best!
What do you do for fun/on your time off?
When I get a moment to myself, I enjoy spending time in the gym, being outdoors, playing with my dogs, spending time with loved ones, and roadtripping!
