LMHC, 6 years of experience
Frequently rebooked
Hi there, my name is Anna, I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Indiana. Taking that first step to acknowledging that you need help, is the hardest one, so finding a counselor you are able to connect with shouldn't be. If you're looking for a counselor who is laid back and easy to speak with we may be a good fit. I believe being able to talk things out with someone who is open to hearing anything you may have to say and not passing judgment is often times needed when working on healing. I am open to working and discussing whatever it is that you need, all while remaining respectful and nonjudgmental. I work to keep the mood light when needed but also provide the space to experience emotions without shame. During those times of processing I like to utilize the last few minutes of session to debrief, wind down, and possibly experience some laughter prior to ending session so you are able to leave feeling better.
Our first session will be a meet-and-greet with me asking a lot of questions about you, but this also is a time for you to ask me questions and gauge if you feel we are a good fit. Feeling comfortable and at ease is one of the most important parts of successful counseling, so if you ever feel we are not a good fit, I will be happy to assist in finding someone you may fit better with.
As the clinician I try to ensure each session is tailored to assist the client in what is needed at that time. We will work as a team to identify areas of challenge as well as construct treatment goals to work on reducing those challenges. I tend to be a laid back individual and most sessions will be conversational, however I am a clinician that will challenge clients when needed to continue to grow. Sometimes it helps to have accountability to grow.
I like working with a wide range of clients and concerns that can be anything from stress at work, navigating poly relationships, women's issues, parenting concerns, and personality disorders. I also enjoy working with those within the LGBTQIA community and have done a lot of work with this community on religious trauma and other life concerns.
While my foundation is Narrative there are many other areas that I pull from to assist the client to best fit them. Areas I pull from mainly outside of Narrative are CBT, DBT, ACT, Gottman Couples (Level 3 trained), Family Systems, Person Centered, and SFBT. I continue to seek out trainings and education opportunities to continue to stay on top of the skills needed to best assist the client.

She was very intuitive and had great resource references for me to look into and try. She asked questions and got me thinking about my perspective on things. Can't wait to see what the next meeting brings!

Anna has been amazing so far, she listens well, she doesn't judge and genuinely wants to help. She is very helpful in holding accountability. She does a great job to help you see different perspective and listening to your personal goals and is very intentional about helping you meet those.
