Anne Holen, Therapist in Training

Inspired by her mixed cultural background, Anne views the world through various perspectives, often questioning norms and embracing the fluidity of our identities. This lens pushes her to embrace each client with an open mind and deep respect for their unique experiences. She strives to see things from an outsider’s perspective, fostering curiosity and empathy in her therapeutic work.

Anne uses a sex-positive, trauma-informed, and non-pathologizing framework in her practice. She ultimately believes the answers we search for are already within us, waiting to be discovered. She strives to create a collaborative space where her clients’ autonomy and resilience are highlighted and their voices are uplifted. With a playful and empathetic approach, she walks alongside her clients, helping them get to the root of what is holding them back. She uses a relational and systemic lens in her work, often going beyond the individual to consider the impact of larger social systems on our narratives of ourselves.

Anne moved to New York in 2016 from her home country, Angola. While initially trained in Criminal Justice, her minor in Anthropology inspired a new trajectory, deepening her interest in sexuality and human relationships. Currently, she is completing her Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy at Mercy University. She is a certified holistic sex educator and a volunteer advocate for sexual and domestic violence survivors. During her free time, Anne enjoys dancing, reading thrillers and mysteries, baking tasty treats, and creating opportunities to bring people together.

Marriage & Family Therapist

Marriage & Family Therapist

In Marriage and Family Therapy (MFT), the unit of treatment isn’t just the person – even if only a single person is interviewed – it is the set of relationships in which the person is embedded. MFTs take a holistic perspective to health care; they are concerned with the overall, long-term well-being of individuals and their families.

Marriage and Family Therapists are mental health professionals trained in psychotherapy and family systems and licensed to assess and treat mental and emotional disorders. They do so within the context of all relationship structures including marriage, couples and family systems. Marriage and family therapists treat a wide range of serious clinical problems including: depression, marital problems, anxiety, individual psychological problems, and child-parent problems.

After receiving treatment, almost 90% of clients report an improvement in their emotional health, and nearly two-thirds report an improvement in their overall physical health. A majority of clients report an improvement in their functioning at work.
