Anna Choquette is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 4 years of experience. She specializes in trauma-informed, affirming, culturally inclusive therapy for adults. Anna’s clients may be navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship struggles, and LGBTQIA+ experiences. Most of her career has been spent in spaces that try to make therapy less intimidating and more approachable for all. Anna prides herself on using non-traditional methods to supplement more well-known therapy styles, including the integration of video games during sessions to help ease tension, allow for stimming, and connect in-game quests to real life experiences.
Anna received her Master’s in Social Work from Ohio State University. Her client-centered, humanistic approach pulls from many different schools of therapy (narrative, psychodynamic, and cognitive, among others). Anna is certified in trauma response and crisis interventions and familiar with Gottman couples therapy.
When we can be authentically ourselves, it means that we can cry together, feel together, and ultimately heal. Anna strives to create a space where you can do the hard work, but it never feels too big to handle. No matter where you are in your journey, she looks forward to supporting you in your healing.

Yes, we offer comprehensive psychiatric services to meet your mental health needs.
Psychiatry allows people struggling to manage mental conditions or disorders to get access to medications that will make daily functioning easier, as well as work through any mental factors that might be causing or worsening their condition. Though medications can’t cure mental disorders, medication can make symptoms more manageable, making the process of psychotherapeutic treatment easier and more effective. Psychiatric care can be available through in-person psychiatry and online psychiatry, depending on where you live and your own preferences. However, psychiatric providers at Thriveworks in Evanston, IL specifically offer online psychiatry to their clients.
A therapist has an education specifically rooted in therapeutic practice, approaches, techniques, and treatment. They cannot prescribe medications for clients, though they often refer clients to psychiatrists for medication management. Psychiatrists are medically trained doctors who specialize in mental health treatment, mainly through medication management and prescription, though they can also practice therapy.
