Anne Zakaras
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC, ATR-BC, PMH-C
Grief is a profoundly heavy, non-linear journey that can reshape your entire world. Whether you are mourning the death of a loved one, navigating the invisible ache of pregnancy loss, or processing the ambiguous grief of a chronic illness diagnosis, Anne provides a warm, open, and deeply honoring space for you to carry your pain. As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Certified Grief Informed Professional, she partners with individuals to safely explore their loss without pressure to "just get over it" or move on before they are ready.
Anne’s integrative approach is uniquely gentle and effective for bereavement care. Because intense grief often defies words, she blends traditional psychotherapy with creative art therapy techniques and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). These somatic and creative tools offer a safe outlet to externalize complex emotions—like anger, guilt, and profound sadness—while helping to calm a traumatized nervous system. Anne is dedicated to helping you honor your loss, build sustainable coping strategies for the triggers of daily life, and gently find a way forward at your own pace.
