Anna Malles
LCSW
Anna has a Masters in Social Work from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). She is also a Phi Alpha Honor Society Member, Integrated Behavioral Health Scholar, and has additional training in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), EMDR, and EFIT. She works as a counselor to create a relationship built on trust and hope where clients feel accepted and encouraged to grow in new and meaningful ways. Few things are more powerful than vulnerability met with empathy to empower someone to own their struggle and redirect their lives. I work from evidence-based models including narrative, cognitive- and dialectical-behavior therapies, and I am always looking to continue my own education by pursuing new trainings and research-based practices.
