I am a clinical social worker licensed in New York, with over 30 years of clinical experience. I earned my master's and doctorate degrees in social work from Adelphi University in New York State. I have worked with people from diverse backgrounds and a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, post traumatic stress, relationship problems, and parenting challenges. I also helped many people who have experienced trauma and abuse.
My therapeutic philosophy is humanistic , person-centered, and strengths oriented. I do not believe in a "one size fits all" approach. I draw on many theories and integrate several practice models to best address the individual concerns of every client. I will work with you to tailor a treatment plan that fits your unique needs and preferences.
If you decide to seek therapy or counseling, I look forward to working with you and helping you achieve your goals.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Anat Anais. 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.
Dr. Anais helped me navigate through years of trauma and neglect to finally love myself and understand my self worth. She is engaging and gave me the tools to heal from within. I can’t recommend her enough!!

After 30 of years of ignoring my feelings, I was absolutely lost when I finally had to address them. Dr Anais was the guide that I needed to help me both navigate the hows and whys of what I was going through. In my sessions, with her I felt safe and heard. The advice and education she provided has helped me greatly.

Dr. Anais is amazing - she’s is so easy to talk to and understanding and always offers helpful advice and support. It took me three different therapist matches to find her and I am so glad I stuck with it and kept trying for the right fit!

Dr Anais has given me the tools to understand my emotions, befriend them and accept them. If I were to return I would 100% want to be matched with Dr Anais again. After just 5 weeks I feel lighter and brighter, her professionalism and sensitivity is second to none.
