The word "metamorphosis" refers to the process of transformation, a transformation of both mind and spirit that can lead to positive and often dramatic changes in one’s life. Here at metamorphis-therapy, it is my belief that the relationship that develops between client and therapist is the foundation on which all else is built. My genuine empathy and compassion, combined with my intuitive and nurturing approach, create the safe space for us to uncover blockages and heal past wounds or traumas, thus allowing individuals to flourish.

I assist clients in developing insight into patterns within their behavior and relationships that are unsuccessful for them. Since these patterns are often shaped by the clients past, this is also something we explore.

Believing in an individualized therapy approach, I develop a treatment plan unique to the needs and circumstances of each person. Within a supportive, accepting therapy relationship, the client gradually discovers their authentic self in a manner that helps to resolve their initial questions and concerns.

I'm Annie N. Bui, Psy.D., a licensed psychologist. As a bilingual English-Vietnamese-speaking psychologist, I provide a safe and non-judgmental therapy environment that is culturally aware and trauma-informed.

I utilize CBT, DBT, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and Mindfulness Psychotherapy.

One of the most important aspects in therapy is for patients to feel heard, respected, and understood.

I specialize in working with adults - individual, couples, and family - with anxiety, depression, PTSD/trauma, relationship problems, substance abuse, ADD/ADHD, and LGBTQ issues.
