Anna Stephenson
Therapist, MA, CCLS, RDT, LCAT
I’m really glad you’re here. I work with kids, teens, and adults to help them to live playfully, even when things feel like A LOT. My clients struggle like you and I do because life can just REALLY suck sometimes. Our entire world view, the way we see ourselves and respond to others can profoundly change after a traumatic event. As we shield ourselves from more pain, trauma can cause the parts of ourselves that are open to new experiences, ideas, our memories, and our even our bodies to close off. Therapy works to help reconnect us to those distant parts of ourselves, reinstating access to the full range of our potential and reigniting joy. I like to think of therapy like you’ve invited me over to your metaphorical home. What are your “house rules”? How many rooms are there and what’s in them? Should I take my shoes off before coming inside? We may not make it to the scary basement on day 1, but that’s okay. Our work will allow you to guide the tour and exploring your "house" together. Can I come in?

Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, CTMH,CAGCS
Starting therapy for the first time can feel overwhelming, but I'm here to make sure you feel comfortable and heard. I believe in focusing on your strengths and working together to discover how to use them effectively to find solutions. Together, we can build your resilience by creating a toolbox of internal coping skills that you can rely on in challenging times. In addition to strengths-based therapy, I also incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Through CBT, we can work on problem-solving, resilience-building, relaxation techniques, stress management, and even practice assertiveness through role-playing. Our sessions will be tailored to your goals, and I may suggest some exercises for you to try between sessions to help you apply these skills in your daily life.
My areas of speciality for adult clients aged 18-65 are: Grief, Racial Trauma, Self-Esteem, Anxiety, Career Counseling, Life Transitions, Relationship Issues, College/Grad School issues, Communication issues, and Women's Issues. If you ever feel unsure about how to start, have had a rough experience in the past, worry about being judged, or just feel a bit uncertain, please don't hesitate to reach out. Check out my Grow therapy or Headway profile listed below in the practice description section, see when I'm available, and let's take this step together!
