Anita Adams, LPC, LCPC
About me
I am a licensed professional counselor and a licensed addictions counselor who has worked, primarily with the forensic population who are currently incarcerated. I am skilled in cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution focused brief therapy. I am also trained in eye movement rapid desensitization and reprocessing therapy (EMDR), and frequently work with clients who exhibit co-occurring disorders including post traumatic stress disorder and substance use disorders.
Fundamentally, I believe that clients should be in control of their treatment, and have a menu of options available. Mutual respect, trust, and rapport is paramount to my client/therapist relationships regardless of modality.

Anita is an amazing therapist. She makes me feel comforted and heard while also giving me the tools and hard work to improve my life and better understand my emotions and coping mechanisms. I am very grateful to Anita and to Betterhelp for helping me find her.
