Anna Grider Counseling, PLLC

Hello, I'm Anna Grider, a Licensed Professional Counselor with a passion for helping others learn more about themselves while providing a safe and confidential space for them to learn to share their stories. In my work, I adhere to a person-centered approach, recognizing that each individual is unique and possesses the innate capacity for growth and change. I firmly believe in creating a non-judgmental space where clients can be seen, heard, and known. My personal conviction is that we cannot shame ourselves into the person we want to be; rather, if we approach ourselves with curiosity, compassion, and gentleness, we will be surprised at what we will learn and how we can heal Having worked extensively with domestic violence, abuse, and sexual assault survivors, I am well-versed in the dynamics of trauma and its impact on mental health. My practice is rooted in a trauma-informed approach, providing a safe and supportive environment for individuals to explore their past experiences and develop healthy coping strategies for the present. My ultimate goal as a counselor is to empower my clients to believe that they are worthy of investing in their own well-being. I strive to foster a therapeutic relationship that encourages openness, curiosity, and vulnerability. Together, we can begin the powerful work of self-discovery, resilience, and lasting change. Beyond my professional life, I am an avid reader and a self-proclaimed movie enthusiast. I find solace in the world of storytelling, as it has inspired and influenced me in every aspect of my career. When I'm not delving into books or movies, you can often find me indulging in hobbies like playing board games, thrifting, passionately defending the oxford comma, and spending quality time with my friends and family. If you're ready to start this transformative process towards healing and personal growth, I invite you to reach out and schedule your first session today.
