Annette Arms

My communication style

Creating an environment where clients feel at ease to be themselves is an important part of therapy. Helping clients feel safe, accepted, validated, and understood is essential to meeting their goals. I'm easygoing, non-judgmental, friendly with a sense of humor, personable, and sensitive to the unique needs of people from different backgrounds.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always been drawn to advocacy and helping people in need of support, especially those who face challenges that hinder inclusion. I have unique lived experiences as a therapist, combat veteran, parent advocate, and mom to an amazing neurodivergent adult. It is a privilege to walk alongside people on their mental health journeys.

My goals for you

Setting meaningful goals for your therapy helps us stay focused on what is most helpful for you to achieve them. My approach to goal setting is to ensure we are working together collaboratively and strategically on the issues that matter most to you.

Our first session

During your first session, we'll get to know each other and discuss what brings you to counseling. I may ask questions to understand the issues you're facing so we can set meaningful goals. There will be intake paperwork to complete, and I'll answer any questions. My goal is to help you feel at ease.
