About Anna Sawyer (She/Her)

Anna Sawyer, LCSW provides compassionate and experienced support to children, teens, adults, and seniors throughout Maine who are navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, trauma, and life transitions. She creates a safe, collaborative environment where clients can explore their experiences, build coping strategies, and work toward meaningful change. Anna is known for her laid-back, interactive style and believes in meeting clients where they are, tailoring treatment to align with each individual’s goals, strengths, and values.

With experience across a variety of settings, including schools, outpatient mental health, short-term and long-term care facilities, and private practice, Anna brings a broad perspective to her work. She has worked with individuals facing a wide range of diagnoses and life circumstances, allowing her to adapt her approach to meet the unique needs of each client.

Anna is particularly passionate about helping clients address trauma, grief, and reproductive challenges. Drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, couples counseling, and parenting skills interventions, she helps clients process difficult emotions, improve relationships, and build emotional resilience. Her work is grounded in evidence-based practices while remaining flexible, practical, and responsive to each person’s needs.

Outside of her clinical work, Anna enjoys spending time in Maine with her husband and their two adult children. She loves lobstering with her husband, relaxing at camp, and embracing the outdoor lifestyle that Maine has to offer. These experiences reflect her appreciation for connection, balance, and personal growth, values that she brings into her work with clients every day.

Anna is dedicated to helping individuals and families across Maine achieve greater well-being, confidence, and resilience.
