Feeling overwhelmed, hopeless, or disconnected from yourself? I'm Anastasia, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to helping adults through their mental health journeys. I specialize in empowering individuals to overcome challenges such as depression, social anxiety, and the impact of trauma. Many of my clients also seek support for navigating relationship issues, coping with anger, processing grief and loss, and adapting to major life changes. My approach is collaborative and non-judgmental, focusing on your unique strengths. Using evidence-based methods like CBT and psychodynamic therapy, we will work together to build the skills you need to regain control and feel like yourself again. As a married and practicing Christian, I have a deep and personal understanding of the dynamics that shape both marital and family relationships. My faith and my own experiences allow me to approach these challenges with a unique blend of empathy and insight. I have the expertise to help you navigate marital and family challenges with your personal goals and spiritual values in mind. Please note: I do not provide letters for service animals or special accommodations.

As a therapist working with both children and adults with 5 years experience, my clinical approach is grounded in compassion, collaboration, and a strong belief in each person’s capacity for healing and growth. I strive to create a safe and supportive therapeutic environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to explore their experiences.

Therapist

Virtual • Pasadena, CA


I have found my own personal healing to be intimately connected to nature, and it is here that I believe that we can all begin to rediscover our intrinsic humanity and let go of those things that distract us from our higher selves. In my spare time, I work as an outdoor educator and manage my own private practice and guide Outdoor Retreats

I believe it is helpful and important to translate what is discussed in session and in telehealth meetings into lived experience and real change.
