Anna Lindberg Cedar, MPA, LCSW

Anna Lindberg Cedar, MPA, LCSW is a Bay Area psychotherapist who specializes in burnout prevention and mood-hacking among changesmakers. She has made it her personal mission to translate these therapy concepts into everyday self-care skills that leaders can use anywhere, anytime.

Many of Anna’s burnout prevention strategies are drawn and adapted from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) — a counseling style that combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other change-based skills with mindfulness and acceptance-based strategies to help you lead a more balanced life. Anna received her Master of Science in Social Work and Master of Public Administration from Columbia University, where she completed multiple fellowships in evidence-based therapy trainings.

Anna launched the Therapy for Real Life counseling practice, podcast, and speaking series to make research-backed therapy concepts accessible to individuals working outside of the therapy process -- because self-care goes everywhere!
