Anya Shomento
Intern of Counseling
Life can be challenging, and we all need support at times to find our way back to balance. In our
work together, you can expect a compassionate, open-minded therapeutic approach grounded in
respect. I am committed to creating a space where you are heard, understood, and equipped to
explore your experiences. I believe a strong therapeutic relationship is essential for processing
trauma, rediscovering your strengths, and enhancing meaningful growth. Through empathetic
presence and guided self-reflection, I’ll support you in connecting with what feels most
authentic. My goal is to walk alongside you on your healing journey—cultivating resilience,
championing self-compassion, and empowering you to move with intention toward a life that
aligns with who you are.
