Anna Kim Douglass, MSW, LICSW

Description of Counselor/Practice

We all want to go through life being known and seen, but often we stop at vulnerability because it feels too costly to fully put ourselves out there to be known and seen. We all want to be valued and accepted for who we are, and not who we think we should be. We want meaningful connections and relationships with others that enrich our lives (as Brené Brown says, we are neurobiologically hardwired for connection). Yet we settle for surface-level acquaintances, which may feel acceptable at the time, but the years pass by and then we wonder why we are alone with no one reliable in our corner. We want to be able to trust our inner experiences and live in confidence, not in the shadow of our self-doubt. At the end of the day, most of us ultimately want the same thing: Health, joy, purpose, belonging, connection. Sometimes in the ups and downs of this sacred human experience of life, however, this kind of goal can feel distant, unattainable, even foolish because is that even based in reality? Can I really live life unhindered by past trauma, family drama, imposter syndrome, psychological distress like anxiety or depression? The answer is a confident “YES, when we do the work.” That’s where I come in. I dedicate my practice to supporting adult women in their time of need. I specialize in anxiety and trauma treatment, and I also have extensive experience treating depression, attachment issues, women’s issues, life transitions, and family of origin issues. In my practice, I prioritize forming empowering therapeutic relationships with my clients to cultivate a sense of safety and trust. Helping my clients feel safe and seen is a top priority in my practice as a therapist. I blend my compassionate, person-centered style and clinical expertise to meet your needs so we can reduce your symptoms of distress and help you feel more confident to take charge of your life and mental health.
