Hi there and welcome. My name is Anita and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and currently providing virtual therapy to individuals residing in Pennsylvania and Florida. I have been working in the mental health field for over 20 years, and currently specialize in treating adults struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, traumatic life experience, disordered eating and substance use recovery. I also have significant experience working with diverse cultural populations and the LGBTQIA+ community.
Who you are matters to me — and I mean that in the most specific way. Your story, your nervous system, your family history, your relationship with yourself. Not a diagnosis. Not a checklist. You.
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 24 years of experience supporting people through anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and the quiet weight of just not feeling like yourself anymore. I offer telehealth therapy across Pennsylvania and Florida, which means you can access support from wherever you are — no commute, no waiting room.
I began working in criminal justice before pursuing social work — and that dual lens gives me a broad way of understanding people and the systems that shape them. I've worked alongside people in crisis, in grief, in deeply stuck places. I know what it looks like when someone is carrying trauma they've never named, and I know how to sit with you in that without flinching. My style is warm, grounded, and genuinely down to earth.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 23 years of professional experience dedicated to serving individuals from diverse , cultures, and life circumstances. Throughout my career, I have had the privileege of helping people navigate a wide range of personal, emotional, and behavioral challenges, fostering resilience, growth, and meaningful change. My work is grounded in compassion, respect, and a genuine commitment to understanding each person's unique experiences and strengths. I am passionate about creating a supportive and collaborative environment where individuals feel heard, valued, and empowered as they work toward their goals and imprve well-being,.
Finding the right therapist can feel like a leap of faith — especially when you've spent years wondering if anyone will truly get you. Whether you're navigating identity, relationships, life transitions, or carrying weight you've never said out loud, you deserve a space where you don't have to explain yourself from the beginning. That matters here. You are not too much. You are not too complicated. And you don't have to perform wellness to be worthy of support.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Reading
Searching for therapists in Reading starts with knowing what kind of care and support you want. Reading therapists may work with concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship challenges, and work stress. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose training and listed specialties match your needs. Provider bios can also help you understand their approach, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or support for life transitions.
In a smaller city like Reading, local in-person options may be more limited than in larger Pennsylvania markets. Virtual therapy can expand your search while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Pennsylvania. Consider practical fit, including appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can help you compare communication style, session structure, and what each therapist focuses on in care.
Therapy in Reading can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your expected out-of-pocket cost before your first appointment. Headway makes it easier to search for therapists who match your needs and are accepting new patients, so you can review profiles, confirm your insurance coverage, and book directly when you’re ready.
