Anastasia Black, M.A.

In my clinical work, I integrate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Gestalt, Polyvagal Theory, and somatic practices to help clients cultivate awareness, self-compassion, and a sense of safety in their bodies.

My approach is relational, humanistic, and grounded in attachment theory — focused on helping clients reconnect with their inner strength and values, even in moments of pain or transition.

As a bilingual and bicultural first-generation immigrant, I bring a deep understanding of the complexities of identity, belonging, and cultural adaptation. I strive to create a space where clients can explore how their cultural narratives, family systems, and life experiences shape who they are — and who they are becoming.

My areas of focus include maternal and reproductive mental health, perinatal transitions, identity development, and life adjustment challenges. I am especially passionate about supporting parents as they navigate fertility issues, postpartum experiences, and the process of rediscovering themselves in new roles.

Outside the therapy room, I am a partner, mother, and lifelong learner who finds balance through yoga, breathwork, gardening and cooking as therapy.

At the heart of my work is a simple goal: to offer a grounded, compassionate space where clients can explore, integrate, and grow at their own pace — with warmth, curiosity, and respect for the whole person.

I am supervised by Linda A. Ramsey, MA, LPC, LMFT-S.
