Anny Gunadasa

I am a licensed mental health counselor who specializes in clinical mental health and marriage and family therapy. I bring almost a decade's worth of expertise, and my education and experience have prepared me to work with clients from diverse backgrounds, cultures, and distinct personal histories.

I believe everyone is capable of change. I also believe in honoring a person's past, personal experiences, and respecting an individual's belief in making meaning of their world. I specialize in treating children, adolescents, and adults in conducting individual, group, family, and couples counseling. I also specialize in treating traumas, co-occurring disorders, and addictions. My specialized training at the doctorate level has prepared me to treat trauma, Substance-Related and Addictive disorders, and to conduct CBT, and motivational interviewing.





I am working on achieving a Ph.D. degree in Psychology at NCU and I am a Doctoral Candidate. I have 15 years of experience working successfully as a counselor with children, adults, and families with different life issues and disorders.

​

My goals are to assist my client to heal, achieve their goals, increase their hope, and find solutions to their life issues as a team. I enjoy working with children and their families to help with behavioral and emotional difficulties, family dynamics, and educational related issues. I knew that the community is needing support with resources and a team that can advocate for them in the school and the community and I want to be there for them.

​

I have a high rate succeed working with children with ADHD, ODD, trauma, adjustment disorder and other conditions. In addition, I have experience and have succeed with helping teen and adults with issues related to depression, anxiety, postpartum depression, substance use disorder, PICA, OCD, and family issues.
