More about Bruce

  • 40 years' experience
  • Male
  • LCSW, LMFT

Dr. Bruce Pedigo holds a Doctorate degree with a specialization in Child, Youth, and Family Studies. He has extensive experience with all client populations, but has developed a specialization in dealing with child, adolescent, couples and family issues. These issues include assessment and treatment of ADD/ADHD, Developmental Disabilities, Autism Spectrum Disorders, Conduct Disorders, Anxiety (OCD and Generalized Anxiety), and Depressive Disorders.

Dr. Pedigo's clinical belief is that child and adolescent issues rarely occur in a vacuum but instead are a by product of a breakdown in family relationships, that requires an answer that addresses the needs of all family members. The core of his counseling commitment is to work with the individual and family members to bring about relational reconciliation and personal restoration.

One of my core values is a desire to hear each persons "story" We all come from unique place and it is import to me that my clients know that I value them . Each person has won the right to be heard, their opinions and thoughts are important to me.

Dr. Pedigo's varied and extensive clinical experience with all client populations is driven by a core commitment to compassionate care and clinical "best practice". He

is state licensed as a Marriage & Family Therapist and Clinical Social Worker. He is a member of the International Trauma Therapists Association.

He is passionate about the work that he does driven by a Christian world view centered on his relationship with Jesus Christ. He approaches each client with a sense of genuine compassion and empathy.

Dr. Pedigo believes people, who see a need for counseling, want to know that their counselor will be authentic present in their lives. That their desire will be to heard. Clients need to know that the therapist is competent enough to help them move through their difficult situations and move toward healthy resolution.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
