Anna Gottlieb

I'm a licensed clinical social worker and therapist with over 10 years of experience working with children, teens, and adults. I'm passionate about supporting people in navigating life's storms, connecting with what matters most to them, and living meaningful, fulfilling lives.

I especially enjoy working with:

• New mothers and parents of all genders in nurturing their own well being through the world-upending transition to parenthood
• Parents at all stages facing the myriad pressures and stressors of modern life
• Adolescents and young adults navigating growth, change, and identity exploration

I call my practice Inner Sun because I believe that, like cloudy or stormy weather, difficult thoughts and emotions come and go with varying intensity throughout our lives; while like the sun, our internal wholeness, worth, value, and capacity for joy and connection are always there– just sometimes harder to see or feel. My job is to help people build trust in that enduring presence, and to access tools and support for navigating the whole spectrum of “weather” life brings.

My first priority is for clients to feel welcome, seen, and accepted just as they are, and to build a genuine therapeutic relationship. Within that relationship, we explore stories, experiences, strengths, challenges, and values, and build skills to move toward lives of greater meaning and wholeness. My approach is grounded in evidence-based practice, cultural humility, systems theory, and a trauma-informed, healing-centered perspective.
