Are you feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you- Whether it's difficulties with anxiety, conflict, boundaries, or general life stress? Past experiences may have shaped your relationships and how you see yourself, leaving you feeling disconnected and overwhelmed. You may be longing for a space to feel understood, where vulnerability is welcomed, and where you can explore what is holding you back. If you're ready to embrace a more empowered and balanced version of yourself, you're in the right place.

It is my passion to help YOU evolve! By choice or necessity, we are motivated to seek change and balance. The desire can grow to be so strong that it pains us. It causes us to act against our authentic self. This can be expressed through substance abuse, depression & anxiety or complicated interpersonal relationships. My therapy approach is about resolving problems using a relational and collaborative style.

So you are looking for a therapist and possibly wondering “why should I choose this therapist over any other?” Good question. Once you’ve found a therapist with a solid background in what you want to address, it is all about therapeutic approach and personality fit (the elusive rapport). In our initial introductory conversation (15 minute call) you can tell me about what you are looking for, I'll tell you about myself, and we’ll see if I am a fit. You can also visit my website for more details on me and my practice: TherapistBrowell.com

Welcome! I'm Anne and I offer a supportive space where you can grow, heal, and connect with yourself. My style is relational and compassionately direct with a large dose of humor (when appropriate). I work with clients on a variety of issues, including trauma, life transitions, grief and loss, personal growth, identity, depression, anxiety, stress, and neurodiversity. With some clients I use EMDR, a powerful modality that while most associated with PTSD and trauma, can be used for depression, anxiety, grief and loss, phobias, low self-esteem, as well as many other issues.

Join the waitlist! (2-4 weeks wait). Do you appear to have it all together but feel STUCK, overwhelmed, or disconnected on the inside? Many of my clients are insightful, capable, and successful yet find themselves repeating cycles of anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or resentment. Self-awareness alone is often not enough for lasting change. I use Brainspotting, along with other therapies, as a neurobiological approach to process trauma, chronic stress, and difficult life experiences stored in the nervous system. Together we work to regulate, build emotional safety, and move toward a grounded, mindful, and connected life.

Chances are, you’re here because you hold one or more magical identities that diverge from the so-called “norm.” Same here. I’m a proud queer, Latine psychotherapist that specializes in inclusive trauma therapy for the LGBTQ+ community, people of color, and fat/larger-bodied individuals. I work with those who want to go beyond just fixing behaviors towards understanding the trauma, systemic oppression, and harm that required those coping strategies in the first place. Many of the people I support are navigating anxiety, body image concerns and weight stigma, shame, and recovering from the harm of non-affirming community or family.

They tend to prefer open-ended and flexible therapy and enjoy being active participants in their journey. While they may experience symptoms associated with various mood and anxiety disorders, they also value focusing on enriching other parts of their lives essential to well-being, like building their self-esteem and improving their relationships.
