“Anna is such a rock in my life - she is a wonderful therapist and person. She has a very natural way of getting to know and understand you, that doesn't feel invasive or contrived. I always feel heard and she supports and also challenges me with her responses and advice. I am lucky to have Anna as part of my week, a confidant that I rely on and trust implicitly, always without judgment.”

Getting to know Anna Dec

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Credentialed Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Counselor. I also hold a master's degree in psychology from Poland. I have years of experience working with adults who experience difficulties in the area of mental health, relationships, and addiction, by providing individual and group therapy. I specialize in Anxiety and Panic Disorders, PTSD, and trauma-focused therapy. I am trained in EMDR. I offer telehealth sessions in English and Polish.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I use an integrated approach that blends psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and person-centered therapies. My therapeutic style is warm, caring, supportive, and respectful. Life can be stressful, challenging, and overwhelming at times. You may feel sad, depressed, anxious, and worried. Coping with these uncomfortable feelings and emotions can often be difficult. "All the world is full of suffering; it is also full of overcoming," said American author Helen Keller. I strongly believe that you have the strength within yourself to overcome any obstacles that life brings with my therapeutic assistance and guidance. I will create a safe, warm and empathetic environment that will enhance progress toward your goals, support personal growth and encourage positive change.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I recognize it takes courage to ask for help and begin therapy and I have tremendous respect for anyone willing to do so. We will begin sessions by exploring what led you to therapy and the goals you wish to accomplish. I will assist you during this therapeutic journey so you can explore and process emotions/feelings, and develop ways of dealing with any struggles that you might have so you can begin living a happy and fulfilling life.

    Anna is wonderful! She's very resourceful and has helped me tremendously over the past few years. She's an excellent therapist, I can't recommend her highly enough!
    Anna is an absolutely phenomenal therapist. She has helped me in more ways that I can count. Not only is she so kind, patient, informative, and knows exactly how to provide professional support - but because of her experience and expertise, I now have lifelong skills that I simply cannot live without. She goes above and beyond, because she truly cares. She is also always responsive, communicative, and accommodating. I can confidently say that I do not know what I would do without her! I am extremely thankful all around, and I would highly recommend her to anyone.
    Anna is an incredible therapist. She has helped me to process my life experiences and come up with helpful solutions to predicaments that ail me. She always asks the right questions and never lets me move past things that I actively try to avoid which has been so helpful in getting me to address my problems head on. "
