2024 Award Winner: Anne Dilenschneider, pictured with nominators Rebecca Christiansen and Pamela Beck
Anne works for her clients to ensure that they are given appropriate support and services with various businesses and has done outreach to groups, such as the Transformation Project to make sure that they are following the proper legal and ethical protocol due to this population. Anne serves as a supervisor to others who are seeking the WPATH certification and is always the first to encourage other professionals to seek additional training or supervision in order to provide the best care to our clients.Anne is completely devoted to her clients and the profession of counseling as a whole. You will not find a counselor who is more passionate about maintaining the integrity of our profession.
Anne is very tenacious and has a persevering spirit. I enjoy her sense of humor, love for the arts, knowledge and respect for the Native American population and zest for life She's been a valuable resource, is a walking encyclopedia and with all seriousness, it's been an honor and pleasure working with her in a previous agency setting and collaboratively in private practice.
