Anna Reid, MA, LPC

Licensed Professional Counselor • Trauma Specialist • Self-Defense Instructor

I’m Anna Reid, a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Texas with a deep passion for helping women and teen girls find healing, empowerment, and resilience in the aftermath of trauma. My work is grounded in the belief that recovery is not only possible, but that it can be transformational—and even joyful.

I specialize in working with survivors of domestic violence, sexual abuse, and childhood abuse and neglect. I also support women navigating the emotional complexities of infertility, pregnancy, and postpartum challenges. Whether you’re seeking therapy to process past trauma or needing support in a vulnerable season of life, I offer a space that is compassionate, collaborative, and rooted in trauma-informed care.

My unique background includes over a decade of training in martial arts and self-defense, which I incorporate into therapy for clients seeking to reconnect with their bodies and reclaim a sense of power. I hold a second-degree black belt in Moo Do Kwan Taekwondo and a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and I’ve been teaching trauma-informed self-defense for years as both a therapeutic tool and a path to confidence and healing.

I earned my B.S. in Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences from Texas A&M University and my M.A. in Counseling and Guidance from Texas A&M University–San Antonio. I’ve completed specialized training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), perinatal mental health, and Equine-Assisted Mental Health. I'm currently pursuing a certificate in Fertility Counseling.

In my practice, I blend somatic and movement-based therapies with evidence-based approaches like CBT, ACT, and mindfulness. I work with clients both in person and virtually across Texas.

Outside the therapy room, I’m an equestrian, artist, nature lover, and mom. I recharge through outdoor adventures and escape into fantasy novels with my dogs by my side.

Healing is possible. You don’t have to go it alone—I’d be honored to walk with you.
