How we help:

We respect how daunting it might feel to start therapy. When you come to therapy we recognize that you are affected by many things— how you feel physically, your personal history, your social environment and your current issue and circumstances. Our focus is on helping you talk about everything in a safe, confidential environment. We help reduce fear, stigma and shame thus helping you build emotional and relationship skills while guiding you through the changes you want to make. We’re here to explore both the "why" and "how" behind the changes you want to make in a collaborative way.

Instead of trying to push you toward some optimized or perfect version of yourself, we believe healing begins when there is space and self-compassion towards all aspects of the self. Our therapists are here to engage with you as a whole person. While we work together to ease troubling symptoms, we also explore the deeper reasons behind them, helping you gain greater self-awareness and clarity.

Our goal is to help you embrace your full complexity and appreciation as a person.

We bring warmth, experience, and a wealth of resources to offer a supportive, nonjudgmental space for everyone, no matter your background or identity.

Please call or text (646) 334-2895 or email anne.wennerstrand.lcsw@gmail.com to get started. We offer secure Telehealth sessions or in-person appointments at our Mt. Kisco, NY location.

 Eating, Body Image & Substance Use Concerns:

As culturally competent therapists, we will support you in deep exploration around worrisome substance use and/or eating problems. We help our clients understand these concerns in the context of culture, as well as looking at related biological and psychological issues.

We have extensive experience in the assessment and treatment of eating disorders. We help our clients achieve a more peaceful relationship with food and body image. Together we will acknowledge the impacts of weight stigma and weight cycling (the process of losing and gaining weight) on your well-being and all the social determinants of health and well-being - ie. the impact of trauma, oppression, socio-economics and geographical location to name just a few. 

We embrace a “harm reduction” approach that is understanding, compassionate and non-judgmental. We help our clients question and challenge thoughts and assumptions which often reveal helpful guidance around underlying emotional-relational issues. In addition, we offer practical tools to help you cope with urges, repetitive thoughts and difficult patterns.

 Consultation/Clinical Supervision:

As a clinical supervisor and consultant, Anne brings 30 years of academic and clinical expertise to her work with licensed and license-eligible mental health professionals.

Some of the areas Anne consults on include: starting, developing and sustaining practice, uncovering hidden skills and niches, getting clear on finances, life/work balance as well as working with challenging or complex client situations. She is also available to meet with groups and organizations around mental health advocacy, harm reduction and eating and body image topics.
