Anastasia on Therapy:

Therapy is a collaborative process; as a therapist, I don't "fix" things (or people). I'm here to empower you and work with you to develop your strengths to succeed. Therapy isn't an easy process, but it's made easier if you have someone to guide you along the way. I look at therapy as mountain climbing: although you may be able to climb the mountain on your own, you could get lost in the forest, or not know which tools to use to make the climb easier. As a therapist, I look ahead to see where you're going, provide the appropriate tools from the tool box, even helping to clear some of the forest, at times. I utilize a combination of psychotherapy, skill building work, and evidence-based treatment modalities, and together, we can find a method that works for you and your goals. Coming to therapy means that you're willing to be vulnerable, and I'm honored that you're willing to be vulnerable with me.

Psychotherapy ("talk therapy")

Anastasia's practice is client centered and empowerment based and will work with you to create an individualized and effective therapeutic space for you to move toward self-actualization through self-discovery and skill development. She is trained in several evidence-based therapies, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, cognitive processing therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy. Anastasia provides both short-term and long-term therapy, and is able to collaborate with other members of care your team.
