Anna Stern
(She/Her/Hers)
Certified Trauma Professional, Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW)
I have deep appreciation for people at the margins and intersections of life, and promise to honor your truth and your identity in every way that I can.
I help people align their lives with their hearts when oppressive forces tell them to stay put. Trust is central to our work, since your relationship with me will be one of the most critical factors in your healing. I will meet you with an open heart, and a lot of realness.Together, we can shift your relationships with the problems in your life and reclaim your connection with yourself and what is most precious to you. I'll be honest, I don't always get it right. I take my power as a professional very seriously, and am always looking for ways to limit its influence. I emphasize consent and will often ask what you most want to feel or connect to in our session. I also offer moments to pause, give feedback, or change direction during our time. I believe that caring for each other with open hearts will change the world. That’s why I hope you will take the first step toward healing, and contact me to set up a consultation today.
