Anna Moise, LPC-MHSP
M.Ed. Human Development Counseling
Anna Moise began her academic career at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where she earned her undergraduate degree in Psychology and Communications. After graduating, she returned to Nashville to pursue her graduate education, earning her Master’s degree in Human Development Counseling from Vanderbilt University’s Peabody College.
During graduate school, Anna completed her practicum at the Martha O’Bryan Center, where she worked with first-grade students at a local charter school. She went on to complete her year-long internship at Daystar Counseling Ministries, providing individual counseling to female clients ages 5–17 and co-facilitating group counseling sessions. These experiences helped shape her passion for working with children, adolescents, young adults, and parents.
Anna joined Rooted in 2019, and she works with clients navigating a variety of challenges, with particular experience in anxiety, depression, life transitions, behavioral concerns, and social skills development. She recognizes that every individual and family brings a unique set of experiences and needs to the counseling process. Her approach is client-centered and incorporates techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), allowing her to tailor treatment to each client's individual goals and circumstances.
Anna places great value on the relationships she builds with her clients and believes that trust, connection, and vulnerability are essential to meaningful growth and healing. She strives to create a welcoming, supportive environment where clients feel comfortable being themselves, exploring their experiences, and developing the tools they need to navigate life's challenges.
Outside of the counseling office, Anna enjoys exploring new restaurants, cooking, taking walks with friends, and spending time with her dog, Rosie.
