"Each individual person has unique gifts and positive personal attributes to discover within themselves. Therapy can be a place to identify personal strengths or to begin to heal from pain. In my approach to therapy, the client is always the expert on their own lives. The most important part of my job is to partner with clients to discover what might be getting in the way of personal growth or relationship satisfaction."

"When life gets hard, it's nice to know there is help. Seeking support and guidance from an experienced professional is the first step.

To help you regain control over your mind and body.  There is a journey ahead of you, I would like to accompany you on that journey. "

"I provide counseling services for adults who are experiencing symptoms related to Anxiety, Depression, and other Mood Disorders. Many of the people I work with are dealing with overwhelming life issues. During treatment we process these issues and practice strategies designed to teach coping skills that can be used for the current situation and for situations should they arise in the future. Please feel free to visit my personal website www.AnneMarieLPC.com for more information. *The best way to reach me is via email or by signing up as a new client at Therapy Appointment.com. "

"Life can be rough and you don't have to go through it alone. Wouldn't it be nice just to be able to say whatever you want and someone actually listened? I am here to help, when you need it.

You will find my waiting area soothing and very private, and my office a comforting place to spend time working on a happier, healthier you!"

"At times we feel like we're stuck in a rut and have trouble seeing a good way out. Sometimes that feeling has been around for a long time, even since childhood. We grow up in imperfect circumstances - and this shapes us in to who we are, both the positive/healthy parts, and the parts that we want to change. We develop patterns of behaviors and thoughts to protect us from pain and hurt. Through counseling and exploring these thoughts and behaviors we can bring them out in the open and work on them to create positive and healthy balance."

"Your Whole Life Can Change! Every single day, people are realizing the incredible benefits of working with a professional therapist. In fact, it shows an incredible amount of self-awareness for someone to realize when they need additional support in their lives. With each of my clients, we work together to develop a distinctive plan to help you produce the changes in your life that you've always wanted. You can look forward to each week knowing that you will have all the tools you could ever need, for any situation in life."

""I have got to do something different." "I am tired of the merry-go-round." How many times have you made statements like these and always with the best of intentions? How many times have you been at the end of your rope with seemingly no where to turn? . Many times we get stuck in the same patterns of behaviors or interactions and have no idea how to stop or change that pattern. Many times we try and try but to no avail. Well congratulations! You have taken the first step toward that change you have long wanted!"

"You do not know how to feel normal anymore. You feel trapped, hopeless, or even different than everyone around you. Your closest friends and loved ones notice that you have changed and just not your true self, but you do not even know what that looks like anymore? You want to find out who you are so you can be the best at being you. Emotions such as frustration, depression, and loneliness plague your life and its hard to see a clear picture of goals, not even goals to get through the end of the day. Take a moment to notice these feelings. Sadly enough people think “this is just life”. Well it doesn’t have to be anymore."

"I have been fortunate to have an array of clinical experiences which have allowed me experience, training, and certification in several treatment areas. I have worked with children and adolescents experiencing depression, anxiety, school issues, and issues associated with ADHD. I have worked with families dealing with behavioral disruptions using Parent Child Interaction Therapy. I have also worked with adults on issues such as depression, anxiety, stage of life issues, divorce, and grief. I employ predominantly Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in working with adult's, addressing how thoughts and feelings effect behavior."

"You struggle with feeling both too sensitive and too numb, like you're too much and then too little. You have creativity that can be hard to get out and leads to feeling like you're spinning your wheels. The joy and burden of being a complex and creative person. Our society seems to be geared towards non-creative types and fitting in to that can be a challenge. Finding safety and security to explore and be yourself can be a scary process."

"Empowering you to reach your full potential is the focal point of my practice. We will use your strengths to work towards being the best you you can be! I have worked in the profession for over 11 years, and I love being able to help my clients develop through various techniques. I work with children and adolescents, emerging adults, adults, and parents. In addition to individual services, I offer social skills, coping skills, self-esteem, and grief groups. I am LGBT+ friendly, and simply love working with my clients in an open and caring environment."

"My approach to counseling is deeply rooted in the healing power of connection. I work with clients to create a nurturing environment that allows them to fully connect with themselves in order to facilitate their own healing. As humans, we have an innate wisdom to move towards healing. However, attempting to cope with traumas and adapting to our environments can create imbalance and dysfunction within our body system. I work with clients struggling to cope with traumas, depression, anxiety and life transitions. I walk alongside my clients to help identify ways in which they block their own, individual healing. "

"Life often forces us to address challenging situations. Whether you're dealing with depression, anxiety, marital conflict, or a multitude of other personal issues, there are solutions that can help. Counseling offers you a supportive environment where problem areas are explored and goals developed to help you get your life back on track. It's through this process and the therapeutic relationship that true personal growth, healing, and acceptance occurs. I embrace a genuine, compassionate approach coupled with the most effective, evidenced based interventions that are goal directed and solution focused."

"As a clinical psychologist with extensive training, research, and experience in understanding anxiety and depressive disorders, I provide evidence-based services for psychological difficulties. Anxiety and depression are all natural parts of life until they become extreme. Trauma, difficult life circumstances, and genetics can result in emotional distress that interfere with your life."

"NOT TAKING NEW CLIENTS CURRENTLY. As humans, we are designed to endure a great amount of stress and pain. However, if the stress and pain are not balanced with relief, then we begin to deteriorate in different areas of our life. In the fast paced world we live in today it is difficult to slow down long enough to seek this balance. We may begin to seek relief with short term solutions (ie alcohol, anger, unhealthy relationships) that often come with destructive side effects. My goal is to assist people in bringing more balance to their lives."

"Beginning counseling can be a difficult, sometimes scary step. I want to walk that journey with you. I believe in a therapeutic relationship that fosters trust and respect. I desire to help you find health and wholeness through finding balance in your mental, physical, and spiritual health. You will find a safe, nonjudgmental atmosphere when you enter my office. I believe in meeting you where you are in your journey and helping you to find the path that leads you to your goals."

"My personal and professional ethics place utmost importance on the value of each person's dignity. I facilitate addressing your needs while also respecting your values. This being human can be messy but it is in difficult times that substantial personal growth occurs. As a Clinical Psychologist, I integrate experience and training in various treatment approaches to meet individual needs. I provide safety to examine your experiences, and together we will work to bring relief and understanding. You can anticipate relating to you with respect, non-judgment and free of discrimination. I never lose sight of the personal story."

"YOU CAN heal...be empowered...and move forward in your life! Experience a safe, nonjudgmental atmosphere to explore your life challenges, to regain your voice, reestablish healthy direction and move forward toward healing and healthy living. I utilize an integrative approach to treatment and will work with you to customize a plan to positively impact your specific needs. As a Christian therapist, I value the therapeutic relationship and respectfully join you where you are in this present moment of your life. Through a holistic approach, we will focus on the whole self- mind, body, and spirit."

"Do you ever feel so overcome by emotion that you can't think straight? You are not alone in this experience. When humans perceive a threat, the emotional brain gets activated first. The logical brain is a little slower to kick in. So if our emotional reaction is so intense that it floods our brain, the rational part never gets a chance to engage. That's why I use emotionally focused therapy to help clients get in touch with their emotions and process them in healthy ways to calm them down. Then they can better choose the reaction they want."
