Ann Marie Nowak

My communication style

Clear, open, and honest conversation is the cornerstone of effective therapy. I come from a place of non-judgmental listening to help you open up about situations in life that may be causing distress. We can work together to figure out what may be holding you back from living your best life.

My journey to mental healthcare

I wanted to be a therapist when I initially entered. I spent time in the pharmaceutical industry, then became a small business owner, and later worked as a prevention specialist. I realized how important it was for me to be available to people who needed someone to listen and understand their struggles.

My goals for you

I work with you to decide on the goals of treatment. I encourage you to spend time thinking about each session, processing what was discussed. I will occasionally ask you to make lists outside of therapy to help us pinpoint areas to work on.

Our first session

It will be important that you understand the confidentiality of our interaction, with your safety always being most important. I like to get to know you by having you share why you reached out and getting necessary background information. My approach is relaxed, I love to laugh and find joy in life's smallest pleasures.
