Anne Stinson, LPC

she/her

I am a trauma-focused therapist, and I have been in this field since 2011. My job is to guide clients as they address distressing experiences, experiences, and belief impacting the brain and body, so that these experiences may have less of a hold on their life.

We all learn from our experiences—and sometimes those experiences “teach” us lessons that aren’t helpful. Childhood trauma, for example, may teach us that the world isn’t safe, that we aren’t lovable, or that something bad is always around the corner. Over time, these learned beliefs can create barriers to feeling safe, connected, and emotionally regulated. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, empowered, and free to engage with your life in the ways that matter most to you!

People are amazing. The brain and body are amazing, as are all the ways these systems try to keep us safe.

I really love what I do, and I also love walks with my dog, comedy, reading, music, and being with friends.

What is trauma?

Trauma is something that is left after an event or period of time in our life, where we didn’t have all that we needed or had too much of something harmful. Traumatic stress often impacts our view of life, or the way they see ourselves in the world. These limiting beliefs are often the root of anxiety, relational issues, and ongoing distress.
