I’m a bilingual therapist working with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, and major life transitions. Many of the people I support feel overwhelmed by overthinking, internal pressure, difficulty managing stress, and the uncertainty of what comes next.

In our work together, I focus on helping you make sense of what’s happening internally and develop practical ways to respond to stress and emotions. I integrate cognitive, somatic, and neuroscience-informed approaches to support both emotional and nervous system regulation.

I believe therapy should feel human. It can be structured but still fit your individual needs. I offer a space where you can show up as you are, while also doing meaningful work that leads to real shifts in how you experience and respond to life.

Hello, I'm Annisha Dunaway. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I come to this work not only from training but from a lifetime of experience—as a veteran, military spouse, mother, daughter, and sister. I understand firsthand how challenging life can be—how deeply we all need support that is compassionate, judgment-free, and motivating. My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and empowered to keep moving forward. Your story matters here, and I’m here to walk alongside you—no judgment, just honest, supportive partnership.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • Danville, VA


I provide evidence-based mental health care that centers primarily on medication management.

My passion for mental health care was sparked when I volunteered at a crisis hotline. I later earned a master's degree in nursing from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Since then, I have gained valuable experience in community and hospital settings.

Living between cultures, expectations, or identities can create quiet pressures many people carry alone. Adults often reach out when grief, relationship strain, identity questions, or emotional overwhelm begin affecting daily life. I work with individuals navigating immigration experiences, cultural identity, family expectations, loss, and major life transitions. Therapy offers a space to slow down, make sense of what you’ve been carrying, and reconnect with your values so life feels more grounded, authentic, and emotionally balanced.
