Anna Stone
M.Ed., NCC, LPC (temp)
Meet Anna
Anna grew up in Pittsburgh, PA and went on to earn her bachelor’s degree in psychology from Denison University. During her time there, she conducted research on the psychological and physiological benefits of mindfulness, which subsequently elicited a passion to help others discover and connect with their authentic selves.
Anna strives to create a safe therapeutic environment where healing and self-discovery converge. Her mission is to walk alongside her clients, helping them to navigate life’s challenges with compassion and resilience, and to work towards a life of purpose, fulfillment, and balance. Anna graduated from Vanderbilt University with a dual M.Ed. in School Counseling and Clinical Mental Health Counseling and is now working toward licensure in the state of Tennessee.
More About Anna
Anna’s approach is grounded in humanistic and person-centered principles, aimed at empowering individuals to recognize their inherent strengths and potentials. She integrates various therapeutic modalities, including CBT, ACT, DBT, solution-focused, parts work, and other mindfulness-based and somatic approaches. Anna is also trained in Phase I & II of Brainspotting, and uses this modality to help clients process trauma and access deeper levels of healing. She enjoys working with both adolescents and adults facing anxiety, depression, eating disorders/disordered eating, EDs among athlete populations, trauma, PTSD / C-PTSD, life transitions, attachment wounds, and interpersonal relationship problems.
Outside of counseling, Anna finds joy in reading, listening to podcasts, traveling, hiking, spending time outdoors, and discovering new coffee shops around Nashville.
