Anita Eddie, LISW For the past nine years Anita Eddie has trained as a child psychoanalyst and worked as a Clinic Associate in the Hanna Perkins School and Clinic. Ms. Eddie began clinical training through art therapy courses at Ursuline College and achieved qualification as a Registered Art Therapist. During her studies there she had clinical affiliations at MetroHealth Skilled Nursing Facility, Bellefaire JCB, and University Hospitals of Cleveland. Her qualitative master’s thesis research focused on pediatric sickle cell anemia patients who had used art therapy as part of their treatment while hospitalized for pain crises associated with the disease. I was an art therapy resident in Rainbow’s until I qualified as a Register Art Therapist in 1996. Training in clinical Social Work was undertaken through the Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences at CASE. During training there she volunteered at Bellflower Center as a group facilitator for Adult Survivors of Child Abuse. Clinical affiliations while at MSASS included work as a Program Manager for Project Redirection, a program for adolescent mothers at the YWCA of Cleveland and as a case manager/therapist at an ODYS/Marycrest collaboration program for female offenders in residential treatment. After completing her Social Work degree she worked as a case manager in Treatment Foster Care at Beech Brook where she continues as a case manager to residential therapists in the Attachment Program and as a clinician in the weekend partial hospitalization program where she conducts group work with children diagnosed with Reactive Attachment Disorder. At Beech Brook she is currently developing a group therapy curriculum for a high risk foster care initiative offered by Beech Brook in collaboration with CCDCFS. She was recently promoted to Clinical Supervisor in the Outpatient Cluster. Ms. Eddie has also worked as a therapist at the Cleveland Christian Home in their Specialized Foster Care Program. She currently teaches at Ashland University and at Kent State University as a graduate level Instructor for the Society for the Prevention of Violence. The courses focus on the use of self-esteem building techniques in the educational setting as well as using art in building self-esteem.
