Anna Coker, LCMHCS, LCAS
Anna is the Founder and President of Northeastern Professional Counseling, PC. She holds a Master's Degree in Counseling, is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Supervisor, Clinical Addiction Specialist and NC state certified DWI services provider.
When she's not wielding her professional self around, Anna can be found digging around in her flower beds, watching her husband, Dan, race his harness-horses or playing with her son, Joel, who she wants to be when she grows up.
Anna's desire to help others get free derives from her own journey of self-healing. Her experiential knowledge of what it takes to go from surviving to thriving shows up and takes you by the hand, helping guide you to where you want to go.
Anna's desire in founding NPC was to offer compassionate and effective Therapeutic Services to small communities without the small-town fear that someone's personal business would ever be violated.
Our therapists use a wide range of therapeutic approaches and techniques. Establishing a plan that works best for your personality, values and belief systems is a collaborative process. The goal is to help you thrive in whatever manner that best suits you.
