Ann Bogus

My communication style

I use a person-centered approach during therapy. I believe that authenticity, genuineness, empathic listening, and unconditional personal regard allow for a strong therapeutic relationship to be established. When appropriate, I use encouragement to challenge clients to push themselves outside of their comfort zones.

My journey to mental healthcare

During hard, sometimes painful seasons in my own life, I received support from knowledgeable, compassionate, empathetic people, including therapists. I became a therapist because I want to give the same type of support that I received to others, helping others find hope that has been lost and a drive to work toward reaching their goals.

My goals for you

Successful care and progress during therapy are attained when clients themselves report feeling or noticing decreased levels of bothersome symptoms, increased levels of positive symptoms, improved relationships with self and others, and improved daily functioning overall. I assist clients in recognizing every step toward their goals.

Our first session

The first session is an important time to ask questions, bring up concerns, and begin building rapport. This is also a time to see if we are a good fit. I will conduct an intake assessment while you discuss what brings you to therapy. We will collaboratively develop a treatment plan.
