Anna Saranec, LCSW

Hi, I’m Anna Saranec, LCSW. I’ve spent many years working as a social worker and therapist, helping individuals and families navigate the complexities of relationships, loss, and life’s unexpected changes. My career began with supporting people through difficult transitions—connecting them with resources and emotional support to help them find balance, strength, and connection during uncertain times.

My work in hospice care deepened my understanding of what it means to live fully, even when faced with grief or change. It taught me that healing isn’t about avoiding pain, but learning how to carry it with compassion and purpose.

That experience led me to focus on therapy—helping clients process emotions, strengthen family bonds, and rediscover hope when life feels unpredictable. I believe in creating a safe, supportive space where each person can feel heard, understood, and empowered to move forward.

Someone once told me, “A river always runs one way; we just learn to move around the rocks and waterfalls.” That message continues to guide my work and my philosophy: even through loss and transition, we can find flow again—and create meaning in the journey ahead.
