Anna Cecere LCMHCA
Psychotherapist
Hi! I’m Anna, a psychotherapist located in Durham, NC and offering teletherapy services. I strive to work alongside my clients, to support, encourage, and challenge you as you discover your path of healing and change. My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and relationships/couples. I hold a Masters in Counseling from Nova Southeastern University. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate (LCMHCA) in the state of North Carolina.
Our Stories of Change, Anxiety and Recovery
Change is consistently occurring around us. Like the changing of the seasons, some things are out of our control. However, understanding your identity, personality, wants and needs is within your control. Only you have the power to decide who you are and who you want to be. I view therapy as a chance to try and do. Together, you can learn new skills to assist in your interpersonal relationships, as well as improve your tolerance for distress. Oftentimes, this also includes unlearning maladaptive coping skills, such as restriction, purging, or self harm. My goal is to help individuals develop a healthy relationship with food, movement, and their bodies, as well as building confidence and resilience and decreasing shame.
Clients I Work With
I work with adolescents (14 years old+) and adults who are struggling with anything from anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and eating disorders to stress management, relationships, shame and self-image issues, and identity formation. I have a particular interest in working with current and former athletes, as well as individuals looking to reestablish joyful movement in their healing process. I also work with couples and family systems that may be experiencing similar issues and/or issues around communication, change, and co-dependency.
How Therapy with Me Can Help
I integrate somatic (relating to the body) and cognitive (relating to the mind) tools to equip you with the skills that you need for your therapeutic adventure. I mainly utilize Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Somatic Experiencing, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-focused Therapy. This basically means, we will create specific therapeutic and personal goals to address faulty thinking patterns, challenge negative thoughts, and reestablish connection to your physical self.
On a more personal note...
When I’m not in the office, you can find me reading fantasy books, gardening, or paddle boarding in the warm summer months with friends! I love to cook and am always looking for new recipes.
