Anna Hartley

As a student therapist, Anna seeks to know her teen clients as they wish to be known in this moment. Anna knows that with the right support, skills, and resources in place, young people can call upon their unique resilience to overcome emotional obstacles and problematic situations.

Anna’s approach to therapy with teens is eclectic and client-specific; she works with clients to develop awareness and skill around emotional regulation, helpful versus unhelpful thought patterns and beliefs, mindfulness, and relationship-building. In the therapy room, Anna is approachable and deeply respectful of every client’s willingness to bring their true self to the work. While she welcomes any young person, Anna is actively welcoming of neurodiverse and/or 2SLGBTQIA+ young people.

Outside of her practice, Anna is a mom to two fabulous children (ages 15 and 10) and one cute pup (Sophie). She enjoys travel and adventures with her wife and kids, as well as cooking, gardening, and lifting weights. Fun fact: Anna is a trained lawyer and was partway through culinary school in Toronto when Covid hit.
