After 30 of years of ignoring my feelings, I was absolutely lost when I finally had to address them. Dr Anais was the guide that I needed to help me both navigate the hows and whys of what I was going through. In my sessions, with her I felt safe and heard. The advice and education she provided has helped me greatly.
More about Anat
- 30 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a clinical social worker licensed in New York, with over 30 years of clinical experience. I earned my master's and doctorate degrees in social work from Adelphi University in New York State. I have worked with people from diverse backgrounds and a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, post traumatic stress, relationship problems, and parenting challenges. I also helped many people who have experienced trauma and abuse.
My therapeutic philosophy is humanistic , person-centered, and strengths oriented. I do not believe in a "one size fits all" approach. I draw on many theories and integrate several practice models to best address the individual concerns of every client. I will work with you to tailor a treatment plan that fits your unique needs and preferences.
If you decide to seek therapy or counseling, I look forward to working with you and helping you achieve your goals.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

The best therapist I have ever worked with! I have been to many different therapist, counselors, psychologists Psychatrist and so on and dr. Anais id the first one I have felt connected to. She has been a great help to be and has done more for me in a short time than any therapist I have seen in the last 20 years
Dr. Anais is amazing - she’s is so easy to talk to and understanding and always offers helpful advice and support. It took me three different therapist matches to find her and I am so glad I stuck with it and kept trying for the right fit!
Dr Anais has given me the tools to understand my emotions, befriend them and accept them. If I were to return I would 100% want to be matched with Dr Anais again. After just 5 weeks I feel lighter and brighter, her professionalism and sensitivity is second to none.
Dr. Anais helped me see my self worth and helped me overcome a very difficult time in my life so I am eternally grateful for her.
