Thrive West Psychotherapy

Anya Greany, LCSW, C-DBT

MY PRACTICE, IN A NUTSHELL:

Choosing to connect with a therapist can be difficult, I am grateful that you are here. Whether you are coming to therapy for the first time, or returning with the intention of seeking more depth oriented work, I look forward to the chance to work together. I emphasize creating a trusting and authentic connection so we can work collaboratively towards healing and fulfilment. Together, we will identify your goals and find the unique approach that will support and challenge your growth.

MY APPROACH:

Rapport between client and therapist is the most important factor in therapeutic success. I emphasize getting to know each client in a deep, trusting, and authentic way. Upon building a strong relationship, we will explore evidence-based treatment modalities to facilitate healing and growth, depending on your specific goals! I am trained in a variety of evidenced based modalities, and find that most people do well when we use an eclectic approach.

MY FOCUS:

Most of my work focuses on complex trauma, OCD, dissociation, grief and queer populations. I work well with those who are interested in exploring their life experience in a depth oriented way.

I am experienced in working with adolescents, young & older adults, people experiencing domestic violence, the LGBTQIA+ community, grieving populations, people experiencing substance abuse, complex trauma, mood disorders, OCD and people struggling with dissociation. As a queer provider, I'm passionate about supporting my community. 🌈

MY COMMUNICATION STYLE:

I prioritize collaborative work rooted in compassion. You can expect me to be empathetic and supportive, but not a “blank slate therapist”. When appropriate, I challenge clients towards growth and reflection by pointing out patterns, uncovering themes, and encouraging deeper exploration.

I take a less clinical approach to therapy, and enjoy creating a space that is comfortable for clients. Feel free to come exactly as you are, bring your favorite snacks and drinks or your pet to session. You will likely meet my cat (more than once!) while working together.

A BIT ABOUT ME:

I am originally from Arizona and enjoy calling the west home. In my free time, I enjoy rock climbing, camping, live music, cooking, traveling and spending time with my cat, Guacamole. I am passionate about the field of mental health, social advocacy, and philosophy. Above all else, I enjoy learning and connecting with others in a meaningful way.
