Anna Bernasconi, LPC

Hello!  I have over five years of experience working with teenagers and adults. My specialties include helping my clients who present with Autism Spectrum disorders, gender identity, including transgender, suicidal ideation, self-harming, ADHD, sex and pornography addiction, family relationship problems, and major life changes. My therapeutic approaches I use include supportive counseling, person-centered, strengths-based and trauma informed. I am a gender affirming therapist.  I also provide couples counseling. I am Gottman level one certified which means I can help you with sex and intimacy issues. I am LGBTQ allied.  I provide DBT, CBT and trauma-focused therapy to help manage past, present or future stressors.

I grew up in Washington and received a double major in Psychology and Law & Justice. I then moved to Phoenix where I received my master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I offer a safe and nonjudgmental space to process anything troubling, help you make sense of it and work towards a lifestyle that is fulfilling.

Hello! I am an experienced therapist that works with children, adolescents/teenagers and adults.  I treat depression, anxiety, complex trauma, strained relationships (child-parent and partners), PTSD, substance use disorder, and low self-esteem. My approach depends on what is in your best interest and comfort level. I follow solution-focused and evidence-based practices using CBT, DBT, and EMDR. I embrace the uniqueness of each person I encounter and hold myself to a high level of ethics with respect for those I serve in their environment and culture.   Life is complicated, and when you hit a roadblock in your personal growth, or when past traumas hold you back, I can help you address those barriers so you can heal and be the best you.   I can assist in replacing maladaptive behaviors with positive behaviors.  I earned my Bachelor's and Master's degrees from Arizona State University. I approach people with a smile and warmth. 

Welcome! I am a compassionate therapist with over 10 years of counseling experience specializing in working with teenagers and adults with trauma, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, family relationship problems, anger, grief and loss, life changes and navigating adulthood.  I am EMDR trained and use EMDR to help process trauma. I can help you move from feeling stuck and incapable of change to a place of freedom and relief.  In addition to EMDR, I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Polyvagal Theory, Solution Focused and Internal Family Systems. I also implement expressive arts therapy into my sessions, such as art-based interventions, guided mediation or journaling. These creative methods can help clients tap into their inner wisdom, cultivate self-awareness, and develop coping strategies to live a more fulfilling life. I strive to create a safe and nonjudgmental space for clients to explore their emotions and work towards healing and personal growth. I have a Master's degree in Social Work from Arizona State University.  I welcome anyone seeking support and I'm looking forward to meeting you.
