Anthony Polanco

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Washington state and a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia. I have over 10 years of professional work experience and have counseled clients through a variety of concerns including depression, anxiety, LGBTQ-related issues, psychosis, and relationship stress. I received my training at the Boston University Medical School as it is the only Masters in Mental Health Counseling program in the country that is through a medical school. This provided me with a high degree of training in counseling and behavioral medicine that I have utilized throughout my career. At the core of my practice is the belief that “Just because I think something, doesn’t necessarily mean it’s true”. Our mind can be our worst enemy or our best friend, depending on how we frame situations. In my practice, I help clients navigate difficult situations through a collaborative process. I use Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing to achieve client’s goals. ​I am here to support & empower you in your life journey and I look forward to working with you!
