LMHC, 6 years of experience
Hi, 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 one of the hardest ones, so finding a counselor you are able to connect with shouldn't be. I have 6 plus years experience working with younger individuals on a large array of concerns from preteen to teenage transitions, behavioral concerns, depression, as well as trauma. Let's face it, it is hard to be a kid, and there are times that are more difficult than others as we develop and grow. I will work with the parent/guardian on occasion with in the appointments but these appointments are for the younger persons needs. I also provide a parenting skills website packet to assist when there are disciplinary concerns or the need for boundaries.
Our first session will be a meet-and-greet that will include the parent/guardian and the young person I will be working with. This may be the only appointment the parent/guardian will attend, due to needing to build a trusting relationship with the young person. During this meeting we will discuss concerns as well as some of the guidelines that are involved when working with those who are under the age of 18. I am open to working with the parents/guardians on occasion or when needed, but I am here to assist your young one in their needs.
As the clinician I try to ensure each session is tailored to assist the client in what is needed at that time. The client and I 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, so I will call you out if I feel you have more to give.
I am a clinician that is ok with on just about anything from concerns on today's topics, LGBTQIA topics, relationship dynamics , and any other area you may want to focus on. I like working with a wide range of clients, and appreciate being able to provide a space where clients can be themselves and openly discuss whatever is needed to work on understanding and healing.
When it comes to treatment methods I tend to be a bit eclectic, there are many areas that I pull from to best assist you and your treatment needs. The areas that I have training and practice in are CBT, DBT, Narrative, Gottman Couples (Level 3 trained), Mindfulness/meditation, Yoga, Somatic, and SFBT. I continue to seek out trainings and education opportunities to stay on top of the skills needed to best assist you. I hold the belief that healing is a holistic journey and all aspects must be healthy and aligned to be able to achieve total health.

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.
