Professional statement

Anna Minor is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Illinois who helps emotionally exhausted people find relief without guilt. She specializes in helping clients resolve perfectionism and burnout. Anna loves seeing clients free themselves from the rat race society makes so enticing and instead build lives full of meaning and connection. She believes clients find fulfillment once they stop trying to prove their worth and finally feel good enough.

Anna's approach is practical and reliable. She empowers her clients with self-compassion, a cornerstone of her practice, while also working towards change. Anna respects the time and energy clients have already invested in trying to resolve their pain. She sees the need clients have for therapy to provide skills for moving forward, in addition to being a safe space for sharing thoughts and feelings. Anna believes collaborative therapy yields the best and most lasting results.

With a background in attachments and human development studies, Anna has a deep understanding of emotions and coping strategies. She loves to empower clients with knowledge and techniques that are proven to yield results. Anna knows the stigma and misinformation that exist surrounding mental health. She takes pride in her work with each client and greatly respects the courage it takes to seek therapy.


Message to clients

As a recovering perfectionist, I’ve been where you are. I know how scary it feels to let your guard down and ask for help, especially when you’re the person others rely on and look to for support. But you are not alone. This is the same place where I and all my clients started from. I would love to help you step away from the pressure of constant self-improvement and to learn to be confident in yourself and your decisions.

I offer a free video consultation to any potential clients. During our consultation, I will be able to learn more about your main areas of concern and answer any questions you may have. If you do not see a consult time that works for you, please email, text, or call me and we can find a better time. I respond to all inquires and usually the same day.
