“WORKING THROUGH TRAUMA CAN TEACH US SO MUCH WISDOM + CAN REVEAL FOR US THE BEAUTY OF OUR EXISTENCE, THAT, BECAUSE OF TRAUMA, WE LOST SIGHT OF.”
- DR. GABOR MATE
THE WISDOM OF TRAUMA
You’re here because:
Life looks “good” from the outside, but it feels anything but.
Those things that used to help you feel better?
They’re not working like they used to.
Hey. I’m Anna.
I take a no-BS approach to therapy.
I’m Anna Barsoe, a dedicated Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in supporting first responders, individuals affected by trauma, and those navigating life transitions. With a background in working with military families and extensive training in trauma-informed care, I am committed to addressing the unique challenges faced by my clients.
My approach is rooted in trauma-informed care, incorporating Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and the compassionate inquiry method developed by Gabor Maté. I believe, as AH Alamas said, "Only when compassion is present will people allow themselves to see the truth." I emphasize resilience and emotional well-being, providing a safe environment for clients to process their experiences, heal, and thrive through life's changes.
