About Anderson Healing Tides
Welcome to a grounding space where evidence-based clinical counseling meets mindful energy healing. Based on beautiful Chincoteague Island, Virginia, and offering both in-person and virtual sessions, I help individuals navigate life transitions, anxiety, and depression through compassionate, whole-person care.
Bridging clinical therapy and energy healing
After many years of offering traditional counseling, I saw the profound need to bridge the mind, body, and spirit. Seeing clients as complete human beings rather than a collection of symptoms transformed my practice. Traditional counseling provides diagnostic precision, evidence-based tools, and essential emotional safety. Complementing this with Reiki invites deep physical relaxation, presence, and chakra realignment, allowing us to go beyond conventional talk therapy and care for the whole person.
A warm sanctuary for women and emerging therapists
I am uniquely dedicated to walking alongside women who are moving through life transitions, burnout, anxiety, or depression and are yearning for deeper mind-body alignment. In addition to client care, I provide clinical supervision for master's-prepared associate clinicians completing licensure hours in Virginia, New Jersey, and Connecticut (with openness to other states). My goal is to foster an eclectic, supportive, and grounded space where emerging therapists can learn, expand their clinical craft, and thrive.
Background, credentials, and heart
I earned my Master of Social Work from Rutgers University in New Jersey and have advanced as a Level 3 Reiki practitioner. My experience ranges from Hospital, Hospice, inpatient mental health and addiction, partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient, and outpatient for eating disorders, mental health, and addictions. I have also worked on JB McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst in NJ In Family Advocacy and Mental Health. Beyond my credentials, I am a daughter, mother, granddaughter, and wife who found home by the beach. When I am not in session, you can find me walking through nature trails, practicing yoga, traveling, and connecting with new people. Every session is rooted in genuine presence, warmth, and an unconditional commitment to holding a safe haven for your personal healing journey.
"Creating a warm, welcoming, and calm atmosphere is key. I am truly present with you in creating a safe space for your healing and growth."
