EMDR | Brainspotting | Somatic Therapy | CBT with Anna Bankey, Mental Health Therapist

Trauma isn’t just in your thoughts—it’s held in your nervous system. I help adolescents and adults move beyond talk therapy using brain-based, experiential approaches that target the root of anxiety, depression, and trauma patterns.

I provide in-person therapy in Brainerd + secure telehealth across Minnesota at Riverside Counseling. To get started, complete a Contract Form on this site or email me at Anna@RiversideBrainerd.com or text me at 218-450-8400. I will need your name, insurance card, a regular payment card for co-pays, DOB and your email and phone number to get started. YOu will receive a welcome packet and short intake form to complete. 

Start healing at the level where change actually happens. If you are in a crisis, call 911. Ask for a referral to see me at Riverside Counseling for outpatient therapy when you are ready to start transformational therapy.
