Meet Naja

Naja Anderson, MA, LCMHCA

Let me ask you this: Do you ever feel like you’re carrying more than you can say out loud? Maybe you feel alone even when you’re surrounded by people, or you’re trying to keep it together while quietly wondering if your voice really matters. You don’t have to navigate any of that by yourself. I’m a licensed therapist in Charlotte, NC, and I offer a space where you can show up in your rawest form, no masks, no sugarcoating, just honesty, safety, and support as you learn more about yourself and reclaim confidence in your life.

I work with kids, teens, young adults, and parents who are navigating anxiety, self‑esteem challenges, peer and friendship dynamics, school or life transitions, and family stress. In our sessions, you’ll find a warm, open, and deeply supportive environment where you can feel seen, heard, and understood. Whether you’re a young adult figuring out your next steps, a teen struggling with friendships or identity, a child needing a safe place to express big feelings, or a parent wanting guidance, we’ll work together to strengthen your voice and build skills that help you move forward.

I use a blend of person‑centered therapy, CBT, and play‑based approaches to help you explore your experiences, understand your emotions, and develop practical tools for growth. My goal is to create a space where you can be unapologetically yourself as we work toward healing, clarity, and confidence.

My Experience

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate with a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Norfolk State University and a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University. I specialize in supporting adolescents, teens, young adults, and parents navigating anxiety, self‑esteem challenges, peer relationships, and family dynamics. Through compassionate, collaborative therapy, I help clients build resilience, strengthen connections, and move forward with confidence.

When I’m not in therapist mode, I’m…

Watching documentaries, trying new restaurants, taking walks outside, listening to music, and spending time with friends and family.
