About Me
I am a Licensed Profession Counselor (LPC) and a Clinical Substance Abuse Counselor (CSAC). I have been serving individuals, couples, and families with mental health and substance abuse issues for over 25 years. (As they say, I've been around the block a few times.) I have worked with individuals of varying ages, from a variety of cultural and ethnic origins, and social sectors. Some of the issues people have struggled with include: depression and anxiety, grieve and loss, trauma, relationship concerns, self-esteem and confidence issues, career and academic challenges, family of origin and parenting issues, gender identify, bullying, as well as concerns about substance abuse.
I am intuitive and compassionate and practice active listening without judgment. People do not need labels that are oft not helpful. The strategies I might employ I pull from Client-Centered therapy, Solution-Based therapy, Cognitive-Based therapy (CBT), as well Motivational Interviewing.
Therapy does not need to be a life long venture. Most people, it seems, simply run into a bump in the road and benefit from another perspective. I believe it is the healthy ones who know they need some assistance and ask for help; it is the sick individuals that believe it is everyone else that needs help.
I look forward to assisting anyone that wants to be heard and wants to empower themselves to make changes to enhance their mental health.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Anna Wheelock . We don’t pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Talking to Anna is like a warm hug. I am enjoying our sessions and I feel like she is really helping me to understand my parenting journey.
Anna listens and makes me feel heard. She has experience and I feel no judgement when I share with her.
She was exactly the type of therapist I needed to talk to.
