Dr. Gustafson is currently open for telehealth sessions with people from both Florida and Mississippi. He is a seasoned, board certified, licensed clinical psychologist and professor with over 30 years of experience to help you to work things through. I try to make my practice a sanctuary where science, compassion, and humor converge to create a challenging but safe environment. Here you are respected and treated like an adult.
My practice is grounded in science. There is a vast empirical literature on what makes good therapy effective, and that has shaped my practice. I've found over the years, though, that the more genuinely "me" I am in the therapy room, the more I'm able to help. So I mix the science with a healthy dose of compassion, laughter, and genuineness.
People come in to therapy for a wide variety of reasons: some want to establish and keep a connection to maintain their overall healthcare, whereas some want to just get in, work on a specific thing, and get out. If you'd like to chat to see if you would be a good fit for my practice, I am more than happy to have a short consultation to help decide!
