Anna Rissanen provides compassionate and culturally inclusive psychotherapy, prioritizing client well-being while collaboratively working toward personal and relational goals. Anna integrates evidence-based modalities, including EMDR and CBT, to facilitate meaningful progress and healing. Additionally, she is trained in psychedelic-assisted therapy (excluding the provision of medications), and Internal Family Systems. She brings a global perspective to her work and is fluent in both Finnish and English.
Together, we will explore your challenges and strengths with empathy, working collaboratively to help you achieve your life goals. I offer a range of therapeutic approaches, including preparation and integration for psychedelic-assisted therapy (medications not provided), cognitive-behavioral therapy, EMDR for trauma and Gottma'n's Method Couples Therapy.
My approach to providing therapy is client-centered, anti-oppressive, culturally sensitive, and trauma-informed.
