About Todd Anderson, PhD, PsyD, LP
I am a psychoanalyst and writer whose work focuses on the subtle edges of psychological experience—those places where identity, desire, shame, fragmentation, and unformulated states take shape before they can be fully named. Many people come to me not because they are seeking solutions, but because something essential in their experience feels present yet difficult to articulate, organize, or live with fully.
My clinical work is relational and depth-oriented. Rather than applying techniques or interpretations from outside, I attend closely to how emotional life unfolds within the therapeutic relationship itself. Therapy becomes a space where experience can slow down, where recurring patterns can be felt as they emerge, and where meanings are allowed to form organically rather than being imposed or prematurely resolved.
I work with individuals whose inner lives are complex, layered, or internally divided. This includes people navigating sexuality and erotic life, queer identity, nontraditional relationship structures, chronic illness, religious rupture, and longstanding patterns of emotional impasse. Many have been in therapy before and carry a sense that something important was missed, left untouched, or could not be spoken within earlier work. My work is especially oriented toward these threshold experiences—where insight alone has not been sufficient, and where relational presence becomes central.
