I believe in the inherent ability of a person to heal and make changes that will help establish a full and meaningful life experience. It is often the messages we learn subtly and hold onto, about what our experiences mean, about ourselves and the world around us, that inhibit the natural process of self acceptance and positive growth. My experience and passion for supporting individuals dealing with addiction and trauma/PTSD are my greatest strengths. I hope to facilitate an experience that assists you in establishing a sense of strength, healthy vulnerability, community, human connection, hope and empowerment. - Anna E. Respess, LCSW, LCAS, CCS
