Professional statement

Anna Zelig is a licensed clinical social worker who is licensed in New York, Florida, Tennessee, and Virginia. The majority of her clients are individuals, couples, and families working through relationship challenges or family conflict.

Anna deeply believes that happiness is defined by social support. She is passionate about helping clients navigate how to get enjoyment, satisfaction, and enrichment from their relationships. Anna’s work often involves rebuilding a connection after a rupture and includes working with clients through trauma, loss, divorce, or a medical illness. She also sees clients with anxiety and depression.

Anna has nine years of experience working in a hospital, helping children and families navigate the psychosocial impacts of illness. Anna graduated with her master’s in social work from the George Warren Brown School of Social Work at Washington University and completed an extensive post-graduate training program at the Ackerman Institute for the Family.


Message to clients

Healthy relationships in which we feel connected and understood are one of the most important determinants of happiness, but navigating and maintaining these types of relationships can be challenging. From a collaborative and strength-based approach, I work with individuals, couples and families to enrich and deepen their connections to those who matter most. Utilizing my extensive post-graduate training at the Ackerman Institute for the Family, I work from a relational approach to strengthen and clarify relationships between couples and family members. I focus on resolving issues related to breakdowns in communication and life transitions including marriage, separation/divorce, illness, loss, pregnancy and the birth of a new child. I believe that through therapy, ruptures can be repaired, and couples and families can navigate tumultuous times with greater ease and grace, leading to greater intimacy and connection.
With compassion and empathy, I practice with the philosophy that people make positive change when they feel empowered, hopeful, and understood by the people closest to them. I look forward to working with you, and helping you find greater meaning and richness in your relationships.
