About me
From our sessions, clients can expect to leave with healthy coping skills, a sense of being heard and validated, and a deeper understanding of themselves.
Hello! My name is Anastasia Lidestri, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in New Jersey. I have over five years of experience working in the mental health field across outpatient and school-based settings. I support individuals of all ages who are navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, and related concerns. I utilize evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, to help develop healthy and effective ways to cope with life’s stressors. I believe clients are the experts in their own lives, and my role is to guide and support the journey toward becoming the best version of oneself.
My greatest strengths include compassion, empathy, and the ability to create a space where people feel comfortable being open and authentic. I understand that starting therapy can feel intimidating, which is why I prioritize building trust and offering a warm, welcoming environment where growth and healing can take place.
