About the Author
Hi, I’m Anna Binder Reardon! I’m an Author and ex-therapist who writes novels and personal essays about people in therapy. When it comes to mental health, my goal is to destigmatize the struggles and normalize care and support.
My work embodies my core belief in the transformative power of vulnerability. I write stories for folks who are deeply moved by the beauty of life’s imperfections and the powerful journey to discover our most authentic selves.
What started as a therapeutic but fictional creative exercise became what I am proud to call my first novel, Wethersfield Road—a story about a young woman recovering from trauma, mental illness, and addiction. With a Master’s Degree in Counseling, my years as a mental health therapist, and my own experiences on the fainting couch, I bring actual clinical and personal knowledge to my work. As someone with a history of being on both sides of the healing bond and process, I am passionate about shining a light on the messiness of healing.
During a break from my work in the mental health field, I found my true passion to be telling stories about folks in therapy rather than working as the therapist in the room myself. I live in Austin, Texas, with my husband, Tanner, our Golden Retriever Jax, and our Corgi-mix Oliver. When I'm not writing, I can be found reading too many books at once, planning my next travel adventure, or searching for the perfect oat milk vanilla latte.
