Biography

What would it look like to truly understand yourself, shift the patterns holding you back, and move toward the life you want? Becoming the expert of you is powerful — and you don’t have to do it alone. I’m Anita Plank, MSW, LCSW, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over ten years of experience supporting individuals through life’s most challenging seasons. I specialize in working with teens, young adults, and anyone ready to create the life they truly want. I support clients navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, identity exploration, relationship challenges, burnout, and addictive behaviors. My approach is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and collaborative, with an emphasis on motivational interviewing and present-focused work. We focus not only on understanding your past, but on what’s happening for you right now — and how you can move forward with intention, confidence, and self-trust. I also draw from CBT, strengths-based therapy, mindfulness, and relational approaches, tailoring our work to your goals and pace. Therapy with me is a space to breathe, reflect, and grow. Together, we’ll build clarity, resilience, and practical tools to help you live a life that feels authentic, aligned, and empowered.
