Dr. Anan has a private practice in Novi, Michigan where she specializes in treating children with selective mutism (SM). Dr. Anan utilizes evidence-based behavioral and cognitive-behavioral techniques to gradually facilitate children’s successful verbal participation in school and other community settings. In addition to individual therapy, Dr. Anan offers a unique group treatment model for children which provides structured activities designed to advance children’s speaking skills with their peers. Frequent field trips give children the change to practice speaking in community settings such as ice cream parlors, pet shops, and toy stores.
