About Anastasia
Therapist. Storyteller. Human.
Before I became a therapist, I spent much of my life telling stories.
I studied journalism and art history at Columbia College Chicago and spent years working as a documentary photographer and creative producer. My work took me into communities, homes, organizations, campaigns, and conversations with people whose lives were very different from my own. Somewhere along the way, I became less interested in simply documenting people’s experiences and more interested in what happens when we’re given the space to understand them.
That eventually brought me to social work.
Today, I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and trauma therapist based in New York. I received my MSW from NYU and have spent the last several years working primarily with trauma, anxiety, neurodivergence, identity, relationships, and the complicated ways our histories follow us into the present.
I’m also a queer, neurodivergent therapist. Those parts of me inform how I think about therapy: I’m interested in understanding people in context rather than reducing them to symptoms or diagnoses. I believe good therapy should leave room for complexity, humor, identity, anger, uncertainty, and the reality that insight alone doesn’t always create change.
In many ways, my work is still about stories. These days, I’m less interested in telling someone else’s and more interested in helping people understand the ones they’ve inherited, the ones they’ve been told about themselves, and the ones they want to write next.
