Dr. Anne lives and works in North Dallas. She has been a counselor in private practice since 1994. Just like you, she is seeing joy and happiness for herself. Her focus on results in her own life drives her constant search for more effective ways to sustain happiness while live in the real world. As methods and approaches work for her, she gains the experience, knowledge and confidence to deliver them to you.

Individual therapy is a personal journey in which you explore yourself, your belief systems, your needs and your skills to meet those needs with your therapist. Each person is unique and each therapy is unique.
We will begin by establishing your goals. We will assist you in the process but the goals are yours. We will not decide what is best for you, you will. We will offer you alternatives and explanations based on our training and experience but you will be the sole arbiter of what you want in your life. We will assist you to explore your belief systems and their origins. Many of our beliefs are formed at very early ages and many people do not realize what they are. Since your belief systems inform your understanding of yourself, the world and others, they are the basis on which everything else is built. It is crucial that you understand your own belief systems so that you may decide what you wish to keep and what you wish to change. We will offer you various treatment methods that we believe will most effectively treat your issues. We will explain those treatment options to you and you will decide what we will do.
Our goal is always to provide the deepest healing in the least amount of time with the least discomfort possible.
When a couple comes to me for counseling, the RELATIONSHIP is the client and our efforts to make this relationship work must be collaborative. We do not make decisions for our clients, instead we help them to identify the central concerns or issues and to work through the range of available options. It is never our job nor our intent to judge who is right or wrong, or to keep score.
The Five Stages of Couples Counseling
Stage 1: Identification of the problem(s).
As counselors, we make certain basic assumptions about what makes a relationship successful. First, we assume that each of the partners in the relationship must have their needs met. Therefore, the first order of business is to identify the source of disharmony in the relationship. From these issues we can begin to understand what needs are and are not being met and why. Once we have defined those places where needs are not being met each individual must decide what is required to meet those needs.
Stage 2: Definition of the solution(s)
In this stage, each partner must do the personal work required to gain an understanding of themselves and what it will take to feel loved and fulfilled in the relationship. This is often the most difficult part of the process and may require individual sessions in order to facilitate the couples sessions. Again, we as counselors, do not decide what you need or how to meet your needs. We fully understand that what works for one individual or couple may not work at all for another. Therefore, we can offer alternatives, suggestions and ideas but the decisions are yours to make.
Stage 3: Articulation of both the problems and the suggested solutions by both partners and the counselor
The third stage requires that each partner work to make their needs understood both to themselves and their partner as well as what they think it will take to have those needs met. Each partner must clearly understand what the other is saying and asking. The goal is to learn to listen and understand not necessarily to agree or disagree. Once both partners understand the nature of the problems and the reasons for the solutions, Stage 4 can proceed.
Stage 4: Negotiation, wherein both partners develop a workable solution.
At this point, both partners must assess the information gathered in the previous stages and decide whether or not their partner's need and solutions are acceptable and/or workable. Both partners must be able to accommodate each other's needs will still maintaining/attaining their own. It does no good whatsoever to simply make one partner happy at the expense of the other. Both partners must be willing and able to give and get what they need in a relationship; each partner must negotiate and represent their needs until a mutually workable solution is created.
Stage 5: Resolution
Resolution of the exposed issues requires the couple to take their agreement home and put it into daily practice or, if no such resolution can be achieved, to plan for the dissolution of the relationship. Once the plan is laid out, the real work begins and the couple must begin the process of implementing their agreed upon solution(s). Whether staying together or parting, we can help make the process as agreeable and positive as possible.
