​
Dr. Anniesha Walker has been in the helping profession for nearly 20 years, bringing a wealth of experience from hospital-based, school-based, and community-based mental health settings. She no longer sees clients directly and now focuses entirely on training, mentoring, and supervising counselors, ensuring they are equipped to provide compassionate, effective, and culturally responsive care.
Her supervision style emphasizes collaboration, critical thinking, and clinical confidence, fostering an environment where counselors feel supported and empowered to meet the diverse and complex needs of their clients. Dr. Walker encourages a climate of curiosity, growth, and humility—one where clinicians learn to see each client as a whole person and to draw upon their own strengths and creativity in practice.
Dr. Walker’s professional and research interests include trauma and its impact on families, grief and bereavement studies, and perinatal loss. Her foundational training in substance abuse treatment and couples counseling informs her holistic and strengths-based approach. She integrates an ecological perspective that considers the individual within the context of their environment, relationships, and community.
Deeply committed to advocating for marginalized populations, Dr. Walker strives to connect individuals and families with appropriate resources and programs that promote healing and empowerment.
Dr. Walker holds a Doctorate in Clinical Social Work (DSW) and a Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Pennsylvania, as well as a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from The College of New Jersey.
Through her leadership, Dr. Walker promotes a professional climate grounded in excellence, empathy, and integrity, where counselors are trained not only to respond to presenting problems but to see the person behind them.
