Hey there, I’m excited to meet you! I’m sure that sounds strange since you don’t know me aside from my picture, so . . . let me tell you a little about myself. I have a master's degree from the University of Wyoming in Community Mental Health Counseling. When I am not working, I enjoy outdoor activities such as paddle boarding, fishing, hiking, and hunting in the beautiful mountains of Wyoming. Although I love to be outside, I am happy to stay in reading good books, sewing, or just watching television. I love to show off my fur babies, check things off my bucket list, and spend as much time with my family as I can.

Let’s create a healthier and happier life by working together to process through past and current life experiences, learn the skills, and assemble the tools needed to overcome life's various obstacles. Each client requires a different approach to therapy due to their different life experiences and needs. I offer several modalities including; Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I believe heavily in helping clients learn healthy coping skills to manage everyday and major life stressors. You absolutely must choose yourself, and that looks different for each person, let me help you find what this looks like for you! You’re allowed to put your needs first, that doesn’t make you selfish, therapy can be the first step. “Always remember the power of the simple smile, a helping hand, a listening ear, and a kind word.” – Don Ritchie.

Emily Pyska

The choice to seek therapy services can be a difficult one. However, the challenges that motivate us towards change can become opportunities to create a deeper awareness of who we are, and who we wish to become. I believe we grow in connection to others, it’s in these relationships we learn the most about ourselves and what we want from our lives. I aim to co-create an attuned, safe, and collaborative relationship that supports your unique goals and individuality. I hope to accompany you through the discovery of your inherent resilience to pursue growth that enables you to live authentically and explore new possibilities.

I work with people on a wide array of issues, including depression, trauma, anxiety, life transitions, relationship difficulties, identify formation, grief, and loss. I offer several modalities such as EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and a Person Centered approach.

If you feel I may be of assistance to you, I invite you to contact me for a free 10-15 minute consultation. We can discuss your potential treatment goals and what you might want to see different in your life as a result of our work together. I look forward to meeting you.

Anastasia Pipp

Welcome! Everyone is faced with challenges in their lives. My first concern is helping you explore and address issues getting in the way of living a happy and productive life. In a safe, confidential setting, we will work together to address your concerns, build resiliency, and increase coping skills to regain wellness. I am Dr. Anastasia Pipp, a therapist providing mental health therapy services to children, adolescents, and adults. My areas of focus include: Anxiety/social anxiety, depression, trauma, personality disorders, existential concerns, LGBTQ+ concerns, grief, sexual intimacy, self-esteem, body image and eating concerns, substance use, and ambivalence around change.

My treatment approach is collaborative and integrative, deriving from Person-Centered and Interpersonal Process theories of mind. My work is also informed by psychoanalysis, developmental, attachment, mind/body relationship, and neuroscience models to provide a holistic approach to your care. What we explore in therapy is often up to you, and I may provide feedback, support, or questions. Above all, how you feel in the world or how the world makes you feel will be most important in our work. Together, we will explore what brought you to therapy and see where the conversation takes us.
