Counseling

Anna believes that counseling is a place to develop the skills needed to make meaningful changes in our lives and relationships. Anna strives to provide a warm and nonjudgmental environment in which you can take risks, learn more about yourself, and move towards your goals. Anna has a holistic approach to counseling that incorporates psychological, physical, spiritual, relationship, and cultural considerations into treatment.

Anna has a particular passion for working with people who struggle with depression, especially persistent depressive disorder (or dysthymia). She also has a strong interest in working with adults who have ADHD. In addition to these specialties, she treats OCD & scrupulosity, anxiety disorders, and trauma & PTSD. She also enjoys working with the unique needs of mental health professionals, as well as with older adults (65+). Anna’s approach to treatment is rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy, an approach to therapy that emphasizes the importance of learning to identify and challenge negative or unhelpful thoughts and beliefs. She has experience providing cognitive therapy, behavior activation, dialectical behavior therapy, cognitive processing therapy, and exposure-based therapies (such as exposure and response prevention and prolonged exposure therapy). She also incorporates mindfulness and attachment perspectives into her work.

Anna received a Bachelor of Arts in Clinical Psychology and a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a certificate in Crisis Intervention & Trauma Counseling from Franciscan University of Steubenville. She is currently pursuing a doctorate in Counselor Education and Supervision from Waynesburg University. Anna is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Ohio and is a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC). She is also a member of the American Counseling Association.

When asked what Anna believes she is awesome at, Anna replied, “I bring a lot of humor and fun to the counseling process. Counseling is an adventure and I love helping people push themselves past their comfort zones or take risks they didn’t think they could.”
