Annie Coffey
With over 25 years of experience as a counselor, mentor, and coach, I’ve had the privilege of empowering clients from all walks of life. From supporting traumatized child soldiers in Liberia to helping newlyweds in the United States rebuild connection, each person I’ve worked with has shaped me into the clinician I am today. I work with clients facing a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, and family conflict. My deepest passion is helping people step into the fullest, healthiest version of themselves. There is nothing more meaningful to me than watching someone release long held wounds, rewrite old narratives, and reclaim the life they were meant to live.

My therapeutic style blends the warmth and unconditional positive regard of Client Centered Therapy with the practical, results oriented tools of EMDR (trauma-focused) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I believe therapy should create real change, not just conversation. You can expect a collaborative, active process — one where you’re supported, challenged, and encouraged to grow. I often provide homework between session assignments so you can continue making progress outside the therapy room. No one wants to stay stuck longer than they have to. I’m proud of you for taking this step toward a better life. Change can feel intimidating, but it can also be exciting, empowering, and deeply rewarding. I look forward to walking this journey with you.
First session
In our first session together, we’ll spend some time getting to know each other and talking about what’s bringing you to counseling right now. I know that beginning therapy can feel intimidating, so I work hard to make the process feel calm, supportive, and straightforward. My goal is for you to feel heard, understood, and at ease as we begin exploring what you need and how I can best support you.
Strengths
One of my greatest strengths is the compassion and ease I bring into the therapy room. After more than 25 years as a counselor, I consistently hear from clients that my calm, approachable style helps them feel safe enough to open up, heal, and grow in ways they never imagined possible.
Ideal clients
My ideal client is someone who is ready to engage in the therapeutic process and take an active role in their growth. Therapy is most effective when a person recognizes they want more out of life and is willing to explore goals, set intentions, and work collaboratively toward meaningful change. You get to decide the pace of your healing. Together, we will create a path that supports the progress you’re ready to make.
Treatment methods
EMDR
EMDR is a great method for clients who have experienced trauma and would like to reprocess "stuck" memories through bilateral stimulation. I employ a very gentle approach which allows clients to move at their own pace. For cash clients, I also offer Accelerated EMDR Intensives. These are multi-hour EMDR sessions delivered over 3 consecutive days in which we compress the standard 8-phase protocol into a continuous, immersive format. Intensives allow for deeper trauma processing without weekly gaps so that therapeutic momentum is maintained and clients experience faster symptom reduction.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is one of the primary approaches I use in my work. I believe that when we learn to shift our thoughts, we naturally begin to shift our feelings and behaviors as well. CBT gives us practical, empowering tools to create meaningful change, and I often incorporate these strategies to help clients move forward with clarity and confidence
Faith based therapy
For clients who desire it, incorporating faith into the counseling process can be deeply meaningful and supportive. If you’d like your Christian beliefs to be part of our work together, I’m happy to integrate prayer, Scripture‑based reflection, and faith‑aligned perspectives into our sessions. Just let me know your preferences, and we can tailor the approach in a way that feels authentic and helpful for you.
