My name is Anna Wray, and I am a Licensed Masters Level Psychologist. I strive to build trusting relationships with my clients and meet them where they are to help them achieve their goals and reach their true potential in life. I am experienced in treating a number of concerns, such as anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, mood and personality disorders, adjustment disorders, interpersonal relationship concerns, sexual issues, health conditions, and grief and loss.

For many of us the journey has been difficult, maybe feeling trapped, hopeless and as though you have tried everything yet powerless to change things. While everyone will feel this way during dark times if this has become your day to day struggle it may be time to seek support. I am here for you. I appreciate the courage it takes to reach out and try something new or something different. Whether this is your first experience with counseling or you are interested in a different approach this time, a life filled with meaning, joy and possibilities, connection to others is possible and within your reach.

Are you a parent or grandparent struggling with your child's oppositional behavior? Individual and family empowerment can help us take our power back. I focus on family oriented solutions with a holistic approach in therapy. I will consider the individual as a whole including the mind, body, and spirit. I have 6 years of experience working within the family dynamic and individual goals. I provide a solution focused and faith based therapy as we consider stressful factors in the home, work/school, or community. I will help empower your strengths and inspire your inner voice.

Based on research, training, experience and a lifelong mission to help others, I have spent the last 25+ years supporting others, especially trauma and abuse victims, on their healing journeys. I focus on strengths, potential and capacity, while facilitating an individual healing process. Patients often tell me, "I don't like therapy, but I like working with you!" I bring my whole self to the process. Ultimately, it is your time, your life. There are a lot of ways to be healthy and whole. I am here to support you in becoming your version of healthy and whole!

Therapy is a journey; my role is simply to walk with you as you navigate the stressors and complications of life. It is my goal to provide a secure and healing environment in which you can begin the process of restoring the person you wish to be. I believe you are worthy of an unbiased, safe and productive opportunity to process your experiences.

I have worked in various positions with clients experiencing a wide range of issues from depression, anxiety, ADHD,  family conflicts and trauma. I enjoy working with adolescences (ages 10 and up) and young adults from diverse backgrounds.

I specialize in Anxiety, Autism, Attention Deficit, Mood Disorders, and Motivation in adults and children. My therapy approach was developed through years of academic and medical research focusing on motivation, attention, and anxiety. I graduated from the University of Kansas with a Master's degree in social welfare in 2011. I have held research and clinical positions at the University of Colorado, Duke University, Comcare and KU Medical Center. I made the move to private practice in 2016.

Taking care of yourself is one of the most generous things you can do. I believe that through mindfulness, self care and wellness we are capable of developing healthy coping strategies to overcome life's challenges–at any age. There is hope. We are not our mistakes. Our ability to self-regulate has roots back to childhood. Through therapy, it is my goal to walk beside you as you explore those roots and make meaningful connections in the pursuit of healing. I bring heart and warmth to each session and create a non-judgemental environment to heal in.

My areas of interest are working with anxiety, depression, ADHD, life transitions and trauma. I work with individuals age 6 and up, as well as providing family therapy.

Life may be challenging during the best of times but throw a pandemic (or any other life changing event) into the mix and it may become overwhelming. My goal is to empower my clients by using the strengths they already possess, to learn better coping skills for life in general and their specific challenges in particular. I have 15+ years of experience working with adults and older adults, including moderating a Caregiver's Support group for 12+ years. I hope you will contact my office for an appointment.

If you are reading this, you've taken the courageous step of seeking help, and I'm here to walk alongside you. Living with OCD is a daily struggle. Intrusive, distressing thoughts and relentless compulsions can consume your daily life, leading to overwhelming anxiety and distress. Right now you're probably looking for a compassionate and knowledgeable partner to navigate the labyrinth of OCD; if you desire a safe space where you can openly discuss your thoughts (taboo, irrational, persistent, and unwanted) and feelings without judgment, look no further.

I'm Ashley Holmstedt, a licensed master level social worker. My commitment is to helping individuals navigate the complexities of their emotional and mental well-being. My passion lies in fostering personal growth and helping clients lead fulfilling lives. I believe that everyone is unique, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. My therapeutic style is collaborative, empathetic, and tailored to your specific needs and goals. Together, we will work to uncover the root causes of your concerns, develop effective coping strategies, and empower you to make lasting positive changes in your life.

Stress affects us all in different ways. Short term counseling with cognitive behavior therapy can many times lead to a reduction in problems. I also evaluate persons to better identify issues such as children with ADHD, autism, or intellectual disabilities. PTSD and trauma are also a focus of evaluation and treatment. I evaluate persons prior to bariatric surgery, for pre-employment and return to work issues, and several court related or forensic issues.

I believe there is no one-size fits all approach to therapy. I strive to come alongside and meet the needs of the individuals, couples, and families I see by providing a safe space where they can feel empowered to heal, develop, and grow what’s needed to overcome life’s many challenges.
