ABOUT
Hello, I’m Anna Verderber!
My name is Anna Verderber and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who believes everyone has a story worth sharing. Perhaps you are a young adult still discovering who you are, or an older adult feeling disconnected from the person you once knew yourself to be. Wherever you find yourself in this chapter of life, I'd be honored to get to know you and help you make sense of, well, you!
As a certified Therapeutic Game Master through Geek Therapeutics, I'm passionate about using games and storytelling to create opportunities for growth. If you consider yourself a little nerdy, know that your interests are welcome here! Whether you find connection through fantasy novels, tabletop roleplaying games, movies, or video games, the stories we love often stay with us long after the adventure ends. These interests can also become meaningful tools for self-discovery and connection.
My approach is compassionate and informed by existential therapy, which helps us explore who we are and what gives our lives meaning. When navigating PTSD, anxiety, or depression, the world can feel lonely and overwhelming. You do not have to face these experiences alone. I want to be a source of encouragement as we work together to understand your experiences and explore what it means to live authentically.
I'm particularly interested in supporting individuals who have experienced trauma, and I use EMDR to help process those experiences. I recognize that "trauma" is a wide umbrella of experiences. I have worked with people from a range of backgrounds, including veterans, survivors of sexual assault, and individuals navigating adverse childhood experiences. My goal is to offer a space where we can work through these experiences and help you feel like yourself again, at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
Above all, I want you to feel empowered and heard. My therapeutic style is collaborative and interactive. I value authenticity and believe therapy works best when we can approach the hard things with curiosity.
Wondering what therapy with me would look like? I offer a free phone consultation so you can get a feel for how I work. I’d love to hear your story and see if I’m the right therapist for you!
