Compassionate, Trauma‑Informed Therapy for Children, Families, and Adults
Life can be complex, especially for those who care deeply, think differently, or carry more than others realize. Whether you’re a parent navigating your child’s needs, an adult exploring your own neurodivergence, or a professional supporting others, you deserve a space where you feel understood and supported.
Thistle Services offers therapy provided by Anna Carpenter, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with over 15 years of experience walking alongside individuals and families through transition, challenge, and growth. Anna’s trauma‑informed, relational approach is grounded in compassion, collaboration, and the belief that healing happens through connection and being truly seen.
Anna has a special interest in supporting twice‑exceptional (2e) children, adults, and families—those who are both gifted and neurodivergent, and who often navigate the world with unique strengths and stressors. She helps clients understand their wiring, build on their abilities, and move through life with greater clarity and confidence.
Her background is eclectic and deeply human-centered. Anna has worked in refugee resettlement, supporting new American families as they adjust to life in the U.S., and she brings a culturally responsive lens to her work. She also has extensive experience supporting first responders and helping professionals, who often carry heavy emotional loads while caring for others.
Thistle Services provides a welcoming, affirming space for children, teens, adults, and families seeking support with anxiety, trauma, neurodivergence, life transitions, identity exploration, and the everyday challenges of being human. Anna’s goal is to help clients feel grounded, understood, and empowered to move forward in ways that honor their strengths and stories.
