Anna Passyn is a compassionate Licensed Professional Counselor dedicated to supporting individuals through the complexities of life. She understands that the journey of parenting, partnering, and working can often feel overwhelming. Many find themselves encumbered by painful thoughts and emotions that distract from their goals. Grief, anxiety, and the pressures of life transitions can create a sense of frustration and hopelessness. Anna’s clients often come with the desire for real, lasting change, seeking to break free from self-criticism and stagnation. With over 15 years of experience working with teens, adults, and families, she employs a direct and caring approach, utilizing evidence-based practices including Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). In her sessions, Anna provides a safe space free from chaos, where clients can pause, reflect, and focus on what is meaningful to them. She guides her clients in integrating the power of pause into their everyday lives, helping them make decisions that foster deeper connections with the people and things they value most.
