Our first episode in the Mind, Body and Soul series features Anna Meighan!
Anna is a licensed professional counselor in the state of PA and a recreational and competitive tap dance teacher at Donna's school of dance in Murrysville PA. She grew up dancing competitively at Rosalene Kenneth Professional School of dance, under direction of Rosalene Kenneth, Donna Denmark (deemark), Rachelle Rak, and Samantha Macklin. Anna is trained in tap, jazz, ballet, and lyrical.
Anna received her BA in psychology from Washington and Jefferson College and her MS in counseling psychology from Chatham University. Her professional direction has led her to work with children and adolescents in therapeutic care. She is currently employed by a non profit agency to provide mental health services within school districts, easing the access of care for children K-12 with concerns related to anxiety, depression, ADHD, self-harm, suicidal thinking, identity exploration, LGBTQIA+, family conflict/dynamics, stress management, and mood liability. Anna is a trauma informed provider and brings this mindset with her into the dance studio, using a strengths-based, person-first mindset and language with the students in her dance classes.
