Ann Marie Parker
Welcome! Reaching out for support takes courage, and I'm glad you're here. I'm a independently licensed clinical social worker with experience helping children, teens, adults, couples, and families navigate life's challenges. Over the years I've worked with individuals facing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship concerns, ADHD, life transitions, parenting challenges, foster and adoptive family issues, and the lasting effects of childhood adversity. My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. I believe therapy should be a place where you feel safe, heard, and respected while also learning skills you can use in everyday life. Together we'll identify what's getting in the way of the life you want and develop realistic strategies to help you move forward. I draw from several evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), trauma-informed care, mindfulness, strengths-based therapy, solution-focused therapy, and attachment-based interventions. I tailor therapy to each person because no single approach fits everyone. One of my greatest passions is helping people understand how past experiences shape present emotions, relationships, and patterns of thinking. Healing isn't about pretending the past didn't happen—it's about learning new ways to respond so the past no longer controls your future. Clients often describe me as compassionate, encouraging, and easy to talk with. I strive to create an environment where you can be honest without fear of judgment while also feeling challenged to grow. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, grieving a loss, navigating relationship difficulties, or simply wanting to better understand yourself, I would be honored to walk alongside you. You don't have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. Sometimes taking the first step is the hardest part—and you've already begun.

Why work with a licensed therapist near you?

What concerns can therapists help with?
