Anita (She/They)

PsyD Candidate in Clinical Psychology

Anita is a compassionate and dedicated mental health professional who is currently pursuing her PsyD in Clinical Psychology from William James College.

With a deep understanding of trauma and a passion to help others understand themselves and their situation, Anita infuses her knowledge, sense of humor, and expertise of forensics to help others from diverse backgrounds become comfortable with their present environment. Anita possesses a special interest in forensics, which she studied extensively at Texas Tech University. She possesses an Undergraduate degree in Psychology with a minor in Forensics and a Master’s in Couples, Marriage, and Family Therapy, Forensics, and Applied Behavioral Analysis. During her time in school Anita was trained in document analysis, court photography, CSI, body recovery, blood analysis, forensic anthropology, and the funerary arts. Anita has worked not only for a Children’s Hospital on the Children’s Patient Advisory Council as a patient Advocate, but also at multiple funeral homes, the Texas State Body Farm, multiple hospice facilities, Covid-19 recovery, and immediate crisis intervention for domestic violence.

Anita does not shy away from the messy or hard parts of life. She does not judge if you feel you have “dark” thoughts. Nothing surprises this counselor as she has seen and heard it all, so she can create the most enthusiastic and caring space possible for you, the client.

Anita possesses a special interest in working with anyone who is involved in/affected by involvement from crisis response, the legal system, emergency response, law enforcement, and medicine; including facing the depression, trauma, and feelings interactions with these lines of work can cause. Anita utilizes Narrative therapy, Somatic therapy, CBT, Art therapy, and Music Therapy to create a whirlwind approach that leaves the client wondering why they ever wanted to face this road alone in the first place.

Additionally, Anita suffers from a complex medical condition called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and thus welcomes any clients struggling with accepting and moving forward in their quality of life as a person with disabilities.
