Mary Anne Anderson
CMHC
Mary Anne joined Healing Pathways in 2014, when it was first organized as a group practice. She has over two decades of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults in a variety of settings -- including working in community-based mental health agencies, as well as a residential treatment center for addictions. She received a B.A. in Psychology and a M.Ed. in Professional Counseling from the University of Utah. Mary Anne’s main goal as a therapist is to provide a safe and empowering environment for clients, where problems are addressed holistically. She specializes in a variety of trauma-treatment modalities such as EMDR, with an emphasis on addressing chronic illness and addictions of all kinds. In trying to understand each person, Mary Anne encourages healthy attachment in relationships and connection of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. She also enjoys integrating music, art, and other creative activities into therapy, to enhance the healing process. She genuinely respects the unique experience of each individual, in helping them discover the most hopeful path to well-being. When Mary Anne is not working, she loves being in the mountains, composing music, and taking photographs.
