About Me

I am Anita Horvath, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), maternal mental health practitioner, and birth story specialist.

In a former chapter of my life, I worked as an educator with children. Witnessing the emotional dance between parents and kids inspired me to study family therapy—and today, I help individuals, couples, and families find clarity, connection, and healing in their own lives.

Psychotherapy

I’m trained in EMDR and Parts & Memory Therapy, and I take a holistic approach — honoring both our human biology and your unique life story. I work with a wide range of experiences, including trauma resolution, anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, self-doubt, and childhood trauma. Find out more on the Therapy page.

Maternal mental health holds a special place in my heart. I believe that when mothers are centered, communities thrive. Explore my Perinatal Therapy offerings to learn about my unique approach to supporting mothers and families in navigating pregnancy and postpartum challenges, anxiety, and life shifts.

Birth Story Listening

I also offer Birth Story Listening, a non-therapy process for mothers, partners, and birth workers. In these sessions, I provide a supportive, reflective space, guiding clients to explore and integrate childbirth experiences and move toward the resolution they are seeking. Learn about Birth Story Listening to see if this process is right for you.

Approach & Values

I bring curiosity and critical thinking to my work, respectfully questioning systems and beliefs that may no longer serve us. I welcome people of all backgrounds and perspectives. Therapy is for anyone seeking greater awareness, peace, and possibility.

Life Outside Practice

Outside of my practice, I’m a mother, wife, outdoors lover, and Buddhist practitioner. I split my time between the U.S. and Europe, and my experiences across cultures and communities enrich my perspective and inform my approach to supporting clients.

Working Together

Please explore my offerings to see if we’re a good fit. No matter what brings you here, I’m honored to meet you.

I’m licensed in New York State and offer therapy sessions in English and Russian for New York residents. Birth Story Listening sessions are available online worldwide.
