Are you struggling with an eating disorder, anxiety, grief, or depression. I have 30 plus years of experience working with individuals, couples and families who are living with disordered eating, anxiety, grief, and depression. Healing and lasting change is possible when you have a plan that is based on your individual needs and strengths. Therapy is a collaborative process and together we will discover what is getting in the way of your ability to live more comfortably. There is a path through pain.

Focusing on the whole person (heart, mind, body and soul), I connect with my clients in a natural way, identifying negative cycles that have them stuck, whether they be patterns of thinking, feeling or behaviors. I help clients facing issues such as marital/relational dissatisfaction, struggles in parenting, depression, anxiety, OCD, and stressful life situations, to unpack their concerns, and with patient support, find the path towards resilient hope and lasting change.

My professional belief is that beginning psychotherapy is like embarking on a "Hero's Journey". Clients brave facing their fears in a safe, secure environment in order to create the lives they want to live. Many times, I meet clients who think that therapy is about fixing what is "wrong" with them. I believe, however, that therapy is really more about fostering clients' ability to connect with what is "right" with them. I support people in fully embracing who and what they really are - without fears. It would be my privilege to be your guide on this journey.

Engaging the heart and mind through a reflective therapeutic process to increase awareness, creativity, and wisdom. A PhD in Psychology and a MS in Marriage and Family Therapy, Dr. Thomas's education and training has provided her with a multidimensional perspective- she understands the web of connection and emotional dynamics that unfold in families, couples, and larger systems. Dr. Thomas's philosophical beliefs stem from the understanding that we are connected, and it is through this awareness that we can heal and create meaning from our life experiences.

Anne has been working in the mental health profession for over 25 years. She provides individual & couples therapy, as well as parent coaching, and weight management/Intuitive Eating support groups. She helps couples re-connect, overcome communication barriers, and create a deeper understanding and greater sense of connectedness with one another. Anne works with individuals to help clients achieve mood stability; reduce their stress with greater balance in every day living; create more fulfilling relationships; and find resilience to clear away obstacles, or painful memories, to finding a renewed joy and sense of direction in their lives.

During a time of isolation and social distancing it is still imperative that we work to stay connected. Families that may once have spent little time together are now asked to stay home. These factors are creating stress on relationships as well as individual mental health. Having a resource to reach out and talk to in this time is important.

I believe that people can change and often need assistance during the process. I believe that relationships are worth investing in and couples can learn to relate to each other more effectively. I believe sometimes people become stuck trying to do the right thing, or figure out what is the right thing. I believe people often need encouragement to push past where they are stuck. I believe we all can benefit and learn from hearing a different perspective.

As a family therapist, I believe that each family, couple and individual has the ability to heal using their own internal strengths. My focus is on restoring balance and building communication within families as they are integral in increasing the overall well-being of individuals, couples and families. I identify symptoms such as marital discord, addiction, behavioral issues among children and adolescents, mental and medical health issues as becoming an unhelpful part of the family system. My approach to reduce the impact of these symptoms and break harmful patterns is collaborative, encouraging members to be open and honest throughout the progression of therapy.

Do you feel anxious too much of the time? Exhausted, disconnected, without purpose or interest? Do you forfeit your own thoughts and feelings in relationship to others? Would you like to deal with difficulties more effectively than the unconscious impulses to comply, defy or flee? Whether it's a distinct problem or a vague discontent that needs resolution, I hold the space to illuminate, guide and empower your progression. This is where talk is strong medicine. Neuroscience reveals that therapy changes brain chemistry & structure. Habitual patterns fall away to a renewed sense of energy, choice and personal authority.

Congratulations! This was a really difficult first step. Lets face it, we're all works in progress, and sometimes change is hard. My favorite client is someone who is trying, so show me you're making an effort and I'll be happy to help you get where you want to go. I have the utmost in unconditional positive regard for everyone, and no-one can work harder than you.

Even when we feel stuck, hurt or confused; our mood or life feel off balance; or our relationship has lost it's way, with the right support, we can draw upon existing strengths and wisdom to take the leap into transitions towards a better life for ourselves. I work with couples, seeking a bridge back to one another when distance, conflict or communication difficulties have taken away their sense of connectedness and understanding. I work with individuals to help them find a sense of clarity and direction, and the resilience to clear away obstacles or painful memories that seem insurmountable.

Sometimes life's challenges can be overwhelming, and you may seek counseling to regain your life balance, energy, and happiness. I facilitate clients' exploration to promote wellness, personal growth, and positive life changes. I work together with clients to develop strengths, reach goals, and to foster emotional healing. I offer insightful support to your growth in developing healthier coping strategies, identifying effective problem-solving skills, and improving communication skills. Everyone's situation is unique so together we will design the best plan to find healthy solutions to life's challenges.
