Hey there! I’m Anika the founder and owner of Phoenix Soaring Counseling. Let’s skip the usual spiel about how much I care and what I know – that’s a given. I believe what truly sets me apart as a therapist is my commitment to being authentically present within our therapeutic journey. I get what it means to evolve and navigate life’s challenges because I’ve been there. In my teenage years, I faced homelessness, sleeping under bridges and doing whatever it took to survive. Always wondering if there would be a good life for me. Fortunately, some remarkable individuals stood by me – foster care, families, and mentors who showed me that life could be different. I’ve chosen this profession to pay forward the incredible support I received. I truly understand what it is to carry the world's weight on your shoulders, but I also know the transformative power of having someone walk beside you. You don’t have to tread this path alone. As others walked with me when I needed it, I’m here to walk with you. Together, we can navigate the journey ahead to healing and wholeness.
