Getting to know Anna Plaisance

Hi and welcome! My name is Anna, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. My approach to therapy is team-based. You are the greatest expert on YOUR life, and we will work together to achieve your therapy goals. My approach My approach to treatment is based on evidence-based practices, empathy, and compassion. My goal is to create a safe environment where you can be your most authentic self. My focus My ideal client is someone who wants to prioritize their mental health and is seeking a therapist to show up fully for them. I typically focus on healing past traumas and figuring out how they might be holding you back in the present. My communication style I would describe my communication style as open, respectful, empathetic, direct, and honest. I also love a good dad joke! My journey to mental healthcare Before becoming a therapist, I was a teacher for four years. In the classroom, I saw how mental health impacts daily life. This made me want to become a therapist so I could help clients during their darkest days and celebrate their greatest achievements. It is truly an honor to be a part of my clients' journeys. My goals for you When forming treatment goals, we will collaborate and work as a team to help you achieve your goals. I will be your #1 fan and biggest cheerleader, I promise. My first session with you Our first session will be all about rapport building! My goal is for you to see therapy as a warm, cozy place where you can be your best and worst self. Our first session will focus on therapy norms, answering any questions and getting to know each other. Therapy is only successful if trust is built.
