If you are seeking a highly-trained, intuitive therapist who can help, you have come to the right place. I have 20 years of experience as a psychologist and psychotherapist and have seen thousands of clients. There are very few human problems that I have not encountered and the vast majority of clients I have worked with have shown significant, lasting improvement in their mood and functioning.
I help suffering people permanently resolve long-standing emotional wounds as well as the shame, guilt, depression, and anxiety that ensue. This only happens in one place; "here and now." Thus, I focus on what is happening in the therapy room. This takes us directly to the emotional wound where we can heal it. As emotional pain exists out of time, so does the cure.
This means we can locate the emotional truth quickly and begin the process of transformational change. While it means active participation in intensive therapy, this approach is useful for couples and families as well. Please call or email me for an individual, couples, or family therapy consultation today.

Services
My practice is purpose driven.
Our shared task is to resolve emotional wounds, not talk around them.
There are benefits to this approach.
Psychotherapy is not a long, meandering search.
Instead, we focus on finding and eliminating the pain that keeps defeating you.
This can be intense but highly liberating.
Furthermore, it should not cost a fortune while spending years in therapy just spinning your wheels.
We are seeking measurable results in your experience from the first session.
Getting to the root of your "stuckness" is the way to begin living in the here and now.

My name is Erik Pedersen and I'm a psychologist in Morgan Hill, California.
I was born and raised in the north bay.
I come from a middle class family.
My parents were mere kids themselves (25 and 21) when they had me.
The environment I grew up in was not always warm and loving but it was my entry into this beautiful world and I am grateful to my parents who did their very best to raise me.
I now make my home in Morgan Hill with my wife who is a successful writer and our thirteen- year-old son who is a successful eighth grader and budding environmental scientist.

Please phone to discuss rates if you feel you have a special need.
Should I have openings in my daytime schedule, I may be able to accommodate you at a modified rate.
I do not accept insurance at this time.
I do provided an ICD-10 coded superbill if you wish to seek reimbursement from your insurance carrier.
This does not guarantee that your insurance will reimburse you.
In order to keep the therapy conversation open I do not accept payment for future sessions nor do I bill for past sessions.
Just like the therapy conversation, payment is subject to the "here and now" approach of clear understanding.

I've included several ways to contact me.
Please give me a call at (408) 831-6687 and leave a message and I will phone you back in a timely manner.
If you would prefer to speak with me on the phone before you decide to make an appointment, I would be happy to talk briefly to help you determine if I am the right therapist for you.
There is no charge for a brief phone interview and I always enjoy the mystery inherent in learning about someone new to me.
