Hello and Welcome!
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and graduated with a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Tarleton State University. I have experience working with clients experiencing trauma, developmental trauma, high stress, and domestic violence. I enjoy helping clients reduce stress and heal to experience greater health, joy, and well-being.
I help people who feel anxious, overwhelmed, depressed, or weighed down by the past find steadier ground and feel more at peace in their lives. I know reaching out for therapy can feel hard, and I’m glad you’re here. Whether you’re facing a major life change, carrying old pain, or feeling stretched thin by everyday stress, you don’t have to sort through it alone. Together, we’ll make sense of what you’re feeling and figure out what you need to feel more hopeful, grounded, and in control.
Anna is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who obtained her MA in Professional Counseling from Dallas Baptist University. Anna is based in Waco, TX where she sees clients in person at our Waco, Texas location and online.

With over 33 years of experience, I help men and women navigate life’s toughest challenges—depression and trauma, relationship struggles, and major life transitions. I specialize in working with men, women, first responders, and missionaries, and I bring a faith-sensitive, solution-focused approach. After graduate studies, I completed a two-year internship at the Christian Family Institute in marriage and family therapy, and I am a Certified Self-Leadership and Executive Coach. My goal is for you to feel deeply understood and leave each session with real clarity and momentum.
I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with
over 10 years of experience helping
people work through life challenges and
the negative thought processes that keep
them stuck. A lot of my work is about
helping clients become emotionally
resilient, using mindfulness and other
practical tools from the theories that fit
each person best. If you're carrying
anxiety, unresolved trauma,
or strain in your closest relationships, you
don't have to sort it out on your own. I
work with teenagers, adults and seniors, including a
lot of men who didn't expect therapy to
be for them.
Empowering Growth Through Compassionate, Personalized Therapy
Welcome to Free Your Mind Counseling, where healing meets authenticity. My practice is founded on the belief that every individual deserves a safe and supportive space to heal, grow, and thrive. I provide personalized, culturally responsive therapy for trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, and life transitions—grounded in empathy, respect, and collaboration.
I specialize in existential, eclectic, and integrative therapies, drawing from evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Psychodynamic, Humanistic, and Experiential frameworks. This flexible, holistic approach allows me to meet clients where they are—emotionally, mentally, and spiritually—rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method.
My academic foundation includes a Master of Arts in Counseling from Prairie View A&M University and a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice with a specialization in Juvenile Justice. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas, a National Certified Counselor (NCC), and bring over a decade of experience in the criminal justice system, substance use recovery programs, and diverse mental health settings.
I am also completing my Doctoral degree at Houston Christian University in the College of Education and Behavioral Sciences, majoring in Executive Mental Health and Human Services—a reflection of my commitment to advancing mental health leadership and community impact.
My philosophy centers on helping clients discover purpose, balance, and self-acceptance through integrative, trauma-informed care. I believe in engaging deeply—not just listening, but empowering transformation. My mission is to create a nonjudgmental space where healing isn’t just possible—it’s expected.
