Born in India, Anita Astley moved to Germany as a child with her family so they could reunite with her father after years of separation due to his ambitious quests for travel and employment opportunities. This separation created an emotional distance between them, and it contributed to what would be a very conflicted relationship with her father, serving as the catalyst that inspired Anita to step into her destiny as a psychotherapist and adopt the mantra “adversity builds resilience.”
After living in four countries and becoming fluent in Hindi, French, and English, Astley has vast experience working with diverse populations covering a wide array of culturally specific relational dynamics, personally and professionally.
Astley received her Bachelor of Arts from Concordia University and her master’s degree in education and counseling and post-graduate certification in marriage and family therapy from the Argyle Institute of Human Relations.
Over the past twenty-five years, Anita has founded private practices in New York and Wisconsin, helping individuals, couples, and families with various mental health and relational challenges. She has worked as an adjunct professor and consulted for mental health agencies. Astley has also held leadership positions in local chapters of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy, holding the distinct title of a clinical fellow.
Her passion for helping others build healthy relationships—from the inside out—has led Anita to take her expertise beyond the confines of her private practice and launch her Ask Anita Astley mission via a new book, social media, podcasts, radio, and TV.
