The focus of my practice is treating attachment trauma in both individuals and couples. I am certified in Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples and trained in EMDR, with a focus on treating relational trauma using AF-EMDR and ego state interventions. I love mindfulness-based cognitive therapies like DBT and ACT and incorporate skills to help clients become better able to cope with life's daily challenges and stay regulated as we work on deeper healing.

I am a licensed attorney and a provisionally licensed mental health counselor, bringing a unique dual perspective to my practice.

My practice focuses on providing evidence-based therapy to individuals across the lifespan. I care deeply about the individuals and families I work with, and together we collaboratively identify their goals in treatment. I specialize in childhood anxiety, specific phobias, behavioral disorders, parenting, selective mutism, executive functioning, and depressive disorders. I have intensive training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), as well as Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT). In addition, I have extensive experience in psychoeducational assessments. I work with schools, parents and patients to understand the results of the evaluations. Further, I explain how their challenges impact them on a daily basis, and ways to help them learn strategies to accommodate for weaknesses, and leverage their strengths.

I would be happy to speak with you about my experience and approach. Please see my website for more information https://drannejosephson.com/

With 34 years in mental health and a strong medical background, I offer individual and group therapy to men and women 18+ years old. I specialize in reproductive, perinatal, and menopausal mental health.

As a Black, Queer, Femme, I know that a person can hold many identities, some more front-facing than others. The way we hold and view ourselves (or are viewed by others) can often be accompanied by feelings of guilt, shame, anxiety and/or depression. Whether you are struggling with your mental health, your relationships, your own identity or a loved one’s, my goal is to establish an open and compassionate space for you to feel safe sharing your experiences. Together we will work to use your strengths to uncover, reconstruct or renew your capacity for self-love and build a supportive, enjoyable and sustainable way of life that works for you.
