About Aneta
Hi, I provide mental health counseling to couples, families and individuals. I am passionate and strive to provide access to reliable and non-pathologizing counseling services in an effort to destigmatize mental health treatment. My background consists of a Bachelor of Art in Psychology and a Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy. Prior to starting a private practice my clinical experience included providing mental health support in community and group practice settings.
In my work I am trained in and draw upon the following treatment modalities: Emotionally Focused Therapy, Experiential Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and mindfulness techniques. For clients looking to process traumatic experiences I am an EMDR-trained therapist and can offer this modality in addition to talk therapy.
When working with me our work is always collaborative and meant to empower you. I seek to provide care and treatment to match who you are and what brings you in. I believe in transparency and intend for our work to create long lasting positive change or healing, rather than symptom cessation in an effort to help you improve the quality of your life.
Engaging in therapy can be life changing. Please know that wherever you are in this process, I look forward to connecting to gain more understanding about your needs.
