Meet Your Therapist

 Anna Bankey, MSW, LGSW | Riverside Counseling 

Integrative, Experiential, and Somatic 

Mental Health Therapy


Traditional talk therapy only goes so far. As a trauma-informed therapist in Brainerd, I specialize in nervous system healing through Somatic Therapy, EMDR and Brainspotting. I help adolescents and adults move beyond the "stuck" patterns of anxiety, depression, stress and trauma by addressing how your body holds onto distress.


Whether you are navigating the complexities of dual diagnosis or seeking to reclaim your self-worth, I offer a secure, compassionate space for deep transformation. Experience the new 9D Reset Studio™—a multisensory approach to mental wellness—available in-person in Brainerd on limited weekdays and now Saturdays! Book fast. Openings won't last long.

The Riverside Counseling Mission Statement

Mission

At Riverside Counseling, my mission is to move beyond the limitations of traditional talk therapy to provide a truly integrative, multisensory healing experience. I believe that deep change happens when we stop just "thinking" about our problems and start regulating your central nervous system in real-time.


 I integrate somatic grounding, Neurotek™ EMDR light bar therapy, and the 9D Reset Studio™ to help clients in Brainerd and throughout Minnesota reconnect the thinking mind with the emotional and survival-based nervous system. My work is active and intentional, targeting the root causes of stress and trauma rather than focusing only on surface-level symptoms. 


If you are looking for a mental health experience that is as dynamic and resilient as you are, your journey toward lasting empowerment begins here.
