Anna Murray
With over 20+ years of experience, I am a therapist committed to helping individuals through life transitions. Life can often hand us things that we are not prepared for. Events that can lead to anxiety, depression, or an overall feeling of not knowing what to do or how to cope.
With over 20+ years of experience, I am a therapist committed to helping individuals through life transitions.
I believe in taking a collaborative approach to help my clients work through the twists and turns of life. I'm passionate about helping others find their way, being a nonjudgmental listener, and providing a safe space to share openly.
First session
The first session will focus on getting to know one another. We'll talk about on why you are seeking therapy, what you are feeling, and what you would like for life to look like. I will ask a few questions along the way to help assess how to best help you. We can then decide together how to move forward to meet your goals.
Strengths
I bring a non-judgmental, comfortable approach so that clients feel at ease talking and sharing. The best therapy happens when we can be honest with ourselves and with others, but this can only happen in a comfortable and safe space.
Ideal clients
My ideal client is anyone navigating a life transition- change in partner/divorce, transition to college, loss of a loved one, empty nesters, physical health changes that are affecting lifestyle. Anyone who is experiencing life changes that are bringing about uncertainty, anxiety, sadness, nervousness, guilt. If it is a change in your life that is bringing out emotions, I am here to help you navigate that change and join you in working through it together.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients understand the connection between thoughts and behaviors. I help them identify how changing thought processes along with behavioral activation can lead to significant changes.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
Utilizing 6-8 sessions, I help clients identify their problems, goals and simple direct solutions to change.
Grief Therapy
Utilizing grief therapy I help clients process their loss, identify how to move through the feelings associated with the loss and support them through their grief journey.
