He also has a no-nonsense approach and is able to get to the core of matters. He helps guide people to finding their own solutions to challenges, carefully offering just the right amount of support that, in the future, they can feel more confident about finding their own solutions but providing more help and guidance when needed. I was looking for a therapist who could help me to find the balance in my life, while looking after my children and studying and keeping my relationship alive and battle my mental health challenges. Somehow, Josh gave me the tools and the insight that I needed to help me achieve my goals and to help protect against similar struggles in the future. He helped me to gain an understanding of my habits and showed me the tools to break my bad habits. He taught me that all people are valuable and worthy. As a result I feel more in control and more confident now. This is no small feat considering that when we first started, despite knowing that I needed help, I was pretty closed to change. I am so very grateful for him and can't recommend his services enough.

I have gone through some serious difficult emotional issues over the last several years resulting…read morefrom many things, including my wife's multiple-year terminal illness and the death of 4 extremely close people in my life, including family members, all within one year. I finally decided I needed help to understand my feelings and to see if there were a way to pull myself out of the deep grinding morass in which I found myself. I wasn't sure there was. Dr. Pedersen showed me otherwise. I started seeing him at Kaiser where he was the head of his area and followed him into his private practice. I am so glad I did. Dr. Pedersen has an ability to understand one's suffering and to link it to a way out. He can allow one to understand the impact of the emotional shells exploding around one's head; how to protect from further issues, to the extent possible; and how to begin the process of repairing the damage. His extensive knowledge of therapy, as well as his knowledge of other avenues of treatment, permitted me to understand myself much better. I could see the destructive nature of certain actions I was allowing to be inflicted upon me, and I was armed with a defense mechanism. I've never taken so many notes since I was in school. And, he has the ability to convey his knowledge in a way that is understandable and can be applied in one's daily life. He gave me guidance that I applied regularly; things I never would have thought of. His therapy just works, at least it did for me. I am a much changed person. I am happy and joyful most of the time now. He got me out of some dark places. Was it easy? No. Was it worth it? Definitely. If you have issues, you need a therapist who can take you through them and show you the way out. Dr. Pedersen did it for me. From a personality side, he has a great sense of humor, he is never mean or derogatory, and he truly has a desire to help his patients. He is bright, funny, and caring. I only have the highest of respect and gratefulness for Dr. Pedersen. I don't even want to think where I might be without him. I highly recommend him.
