November Spotlight:
Dr. Anna Cummings Rork, MD, PMH-C
|
|
Dr. Anna Cummings Rork was born and raised in Jackson, Wyoming and knew from an early age that she wanted to be a physician. She initially pursued medicine, thinking she would do backcountry, wilderness, emergency medicine (and even graduated from the Lander NOLS Wilderness EMT program in college!). But she was drawn to know more about people, know more about their life story, to build relationships, and work toward improving quality of life. Dr. Rork ultimately found her calling in psychiatry.
Dr. Rork is a graduate of the Wyoming WWAMI medical program, completed residency at the University of Washington, and now practices as a board-certified psychiatrist with specialization in women’s mental health, reproductive and perinatal psychiatry. She also has additional training in different modalities of psychotherapy, including trauma-focused and psychodynamic/psychoanalytic psychotherapy. With a commitment to practice within Wyoming,
Dr. Rork opened a private telepsychiatry practice that serves people across the state, and notes that it is an honor to serve.
