About LifeWise By Dr. Jan Anderson

Hello, I’m Dr. Jan Anderson. I’m a licensed clinical professional counselor with a doctorate in clinical psychology. I specialize in working with professionals and executives — including individuals, couples and families — and have been in private practice in Louisville, Kentucky since 2000. I am the featured mental health columnist for M.D.Update magazine, write a popular blog (check it out here on the website) and am the author of two audio collections of guided mindfulness-based practices, available on iTunes and Amazon. One of the things that’s different about me is I have a twenty-year corporate business background. During that time I did my master’s in psychology practicum working with executives and professionals in making a career transition — including how to network, prepare a resume and handle behavioral interviews. Another thing that’s different about me is that I did my own career transition/reinvention — I left the corporate world to start working on my doctorate in clinical psychology. During that time I started my own business teaching mindfulness-based practices like meditation, yoga and mindful eating and I did volunteer grief counseling at a local hospice. For my doctoral thesis I explored five evidence-based ways that people develop resilience — how to get grip, get back up and go on when someone hurts or harms you. I use my diverse background and evidence-based approaches to relationships, work, wellness and life transitions — so my clients can attract and build relationships that are good for them, handle difficult people without becoming part of the problem, and spend more time enjoying life and work!
