Ava Anderson

I am a down-to-earth therapist who loves to support people of all ages, especially those of us who are queer, trans, neurodivergent, or just need to be heard authentically. My goal is to create space that is attuned, trustworthy, and empowering. Therapy methods that are foundational for me include somatic, compassion-focused, and play therapy. I understand the culture and systems we live in are very unwell, and I want to support personal and collective healing. I see therapy as a chance to partner with people to create space and companionship for feeling, reflection, and change.
