Anna Gunning, LICSW

You’ve spent a long time feeling different, like you don’t quite “fit in.” You may feel overwhelmed and exhausted from carrying so much on your own. Struggles with food, body image, and mental health can feel isolating. You don’t need to have it all figured out before starting therapy. You deserve a space where you can show up as yourself, without masking or over-explaining. I’m a queer, nonbinary therapist specializing in LGBTQIA2S+ mental health and eating disorder recovery. I’m here to support you in building a gentler, more at-home relationship with yourself. My approach is warm, collaborative, and rooted in Health at Every Size (HAES), body liberation, and harm-reduction principles. I take time to understand your unique story, including how identity, culture, trauma, and neurodiversity shape your relationship with food, your body, your sense of self, and the world around you. I aim to create a space where you feel truly seen, safe, and understood. In our work together, your victories will be celebrated, your losses will be honored, and even the hardest parts of healing will be met with care and compassion. Together, we’ll move at a pace that feels meaningful and sustainable for you. While I specialize in LGBTQIA2S+ affirming care, I welcome anyone navigating food or mood concerns, body image struggles, or a sense of disconnection from themselves. Support is available to you just as you are. If you’re curious about working together, please reach out. I offer a free phone consultation and would be happy to connect. *Please note the following:  -My practice is solely virtual. I see clients living in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Oregon, as I am actively licensed in these three states.  -I am not in-network with any insurance company. I do provide "superbills" for clients utilizing out-of-network benefits for financial reimbursement. -I offer a free, 15-minute phone consultation to answer questions and hear more about what's leading you to therapy at this time. I know this step is vulnerable, and I seek to provide direct communication and support from the very beginning.
