Hi! My name is Anni and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over five years experience providing therapy services. I have worked in a variety of settings and roles in the mental health field, but most recently have been working in an outpatient recovery oriented clinic providing individual and group psychotherapy. I work with clients affected by depression, anxiety, ADHD, substance use, trauma, and experiencing various relationship and life stressors.
My approach to therapy is person centered and non-judgmental, where clients are the expert in their own life and in the driver’s seat of treatment. I offer a collaborative, solution focused approach to help clients identify their strengths and achieve treatment goals. I utilize various treatment modalities such as cognitive behavior therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to support their work in treatment.
I also believe in taking a truly holistic approach to wellness. When pertinent and sought in treatment, I can provide support integrating nutrition and lifestyle changes to gain and better understand the connection to our mental health and improve management of symptoms.
Additional areas of focus: Addictions, LGBT, Family conflicts, Trauma and abuse, Intimacy-related issues, Sleeping disorders, Self esteem, Career difficulties, Bipolar disorder, Coping with life changes, Compassion fatigue, Codependency, Commitment Issues, Communication problems, Mood disorders , Personality Disorders, Workplace issues
Clinical approaches: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Anni Gruttadaro. 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.
Prior to this experience with Anni and BetterHelp, I had never reached out to anyone for help in my personal life. The experience has helped me know that it’s ok to ask for help, and Anni took the time to listen, understand, and help me through the most difficult time in my life. Anni has provided me with tools and resources that helped me greatly, and I will hold onto them for use later on life as it’s necessary. Thank you Anni!
