Anna Bellard

Anna Bellard

Therapist

Virtual • Denver, CO


I'm Anna Bellard, LCSW, a trauma therapist with nearly a decade of experience supporting adults through anxiety, PSTD, and the lasting impact of trauma. I specialize in EMDR therapy and somatic-based approaches that help clients heal not just mentally, but through the nervous system as a whole.

I earned my Bachelor's degree in Psychology at the University of Vermont and completed my Master of Social Work at University of Denver in 2020. My clinical background includes inpatient psychiatric care, adult partial hospitalization (PHP), and dual-diagnosis treatment, where I worked with complex trauma, mood disorders, and substance use.

Overtime, my work led me to focus on individual therapy for adults seeking deeper healing, emotional regulation, and reconnection with themselves. My approach is warm, collaborative, and direct.

Find the right addiction counselor for you

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Aurora

Finding addiction therapists in Aurora starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, drug use, compulsive behaviors, cravings, relapse prevention, and co-occurring concerns like anxiety or depression. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match what you want to work on. Some therapists use approaches like motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, or harm reduction-informed care. Some people may also include a prescriber as part of their care team.

Aurora offers a range of therapy options, with access to in-person offices and virtual appointments across the area. Virtual care can also expand your search if you want a therapist with specific addiction experience or a schedule that fits your week. Recovery can move in more than one direction, so it helps to look for a therapist whose bio reflects a nonjudgmental style and experience with harm reduction, relapse prevention, or substance use concerns. You can also compare appointment availability, whether a therapist offers a free phone consultation, and how they describe session structure before booking.

Addiction therapy in Aurora can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and plan for care. Headway helps you find therapists who are accepting new patients and match your preferences. You can enter your insurance details on Headway to check coverage and estimated costs for the therapists available in Aurora. You can enter your insurance details to see your estimated session cost before you book, then review bios and book directly when you’re ready.

If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
