As an Indigenous woman, I take a holistic approach and welcome all identities and lived experiences.
You’ve spent years trying to outrun anxiety, overthinking, or that lingering fear of not being “good enough.” You function, you show up, you keep going – but deep down you feel tense, on edge, or stuck in patterns you can’t shake. Maybe old memories still live in your body, or certain triggers send you spiraling fast. You want real change, not another bandaid. You want to feel calm, clear, and finally free from the past so you can move forward feeling grounded, secure, and connected to yourself.

I am a bi-racial Native with Indigenous worldviews, a member of the LGBTQ+ community, and queer-affirming.
Our deepest Self is good, creative and generative; we are beautiful and resilient beings, an integration of body, mind, spirit, and ancestry. Yet sometimes life’s challenges sabotage our joy or interrupt our purpose, leaving us feeling anxious, grieved, or manifesting destructive thought and behavioral patterns. These challenges are the daily demands of navigating our chaotic world, but sometimes include other traumas such as violence, abuse, or family and inter-generational wounds.

I work with clients who have spent years taking care of others while their own trauma, stress, or substance use has quietly grown heavier. They may appear okay for the sake of everyone else but feel exhausted, anxious, or stuck when they’re alone. They want a therapist who can handle the intensity of their story without judgment and who gets the reality of quietly carrying pain. Their goals are to feel more grounded, understand their patterns, regulate their emotions, and build a life that feels manageable and real. What they want most is relief, honesty, a space where they don’t have to pretend and can finally just breathe.

My name is Annissa, my pronouns are she/they, and I am an AMFT with Diaspora Therapy Group. My work centers on affirmation, empowerment, and celebration of intersectionality. Many clients have come into therapy seeking someone who can resonate with the feeling of being forgotten, misunderstood, or told that they are both “too much” and “not enough”. In our work together, clients and I explore all aspects of their identity while navigating and acknowledging challenges faced through systemic issues. Together we can collaborate to foster a safer space to authentically work, talk, and feel without fear of judgment.

I love to work with individuals, couples, and families facing anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, and attachment wounds.

Using CBT, ACT, EFT, attachment-based, and trauma-informed approaches, I help clients understand the patterns keeping them stuck, strengthen relationships, build resilience, and create lasting change in a compassionate, collaborative environment.

FAQ - Native American Therapists
What are the advantages of seeing a Native American therapist?
Therapists are trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of mental health conditions through various forms of talk therapy and behavioral interventions. Building a strong therapeutic relationship is an essential part of feeling supported and understood in care. For many Native American individuals, working with a provider who shares or respects their cultural background can foster a deeper sense of trust and connection in the therapeutic process. Native American therapists may be especially well-equipped to address topics such as historical trauma, intergenerational grief, and cultural identity—factors that can significantly shape the mental health experiences of Native American clients. These providers may also be knowledgeable about and incorporate Indigenous healing traditions, which can be beneficial for clients seeking this approach. Additionally, Native American therapists may be more familiar with community resources, support networks, or other culturally-aligned providers who can offer further support.
How to find a Native American therapist?
Psychology Today’s online directory is a useful tool for finding a Native American therapist. You can filter for providers who identify as Native American or who mention working with Indigenous populations and highlight cultural competence in their profiles. Look for signs such as experience with tribal communities, familiarity with Native traditions, or a focus on trauma-informed care. Depending on your preferences and needs, it may also be important to ask whether a provider offers telehealth, which therapeutic approaches they use, and whether they accept your insurance. If you're unable to find a therapist who personally identifies as Native American, you may also consider providers who have experience working with Native clients or who demonstrate a clear commitment to cultural humility and respect for Native American beliefs and traditions. You might also consider a blended approach—for example, seeing a therapist for talk therapy while also seeing a Native healer or counselor for more culturally-specific support.
