Anne Walbridge

I am a licensed mental health therapist who supports individuals navigating maternal mental health, anxiety, trauma, depression, emotional overwhelm, and major life transitions. My work is grounded in a compassionate, collaborative approach that helps clients feel understood while developing greater insight into their thoughts, emotions, and relationships. I have additional training in perinatal mental health, along with a strong foundation in attachment and emotion regulation, which informs my work with clients experiencing stress, identity shifts, and relational challenges. I draw from approaches including CBT, EMDR, trauma-informed care, and mindfulness to help clients develop effective coping skills, ease distress, and better understand the patterns that may be keeping them stuck.

My approach is collaborative and grounded, with a focus on women’s issues, parenting, relationships, and the emotional demands of caregiving. I support clients through pregnancy, postpartum adjustment, and the evolving identity changes that come with motherhood and life transitions. Sessions are paced to meet each client where they are, balancing practical, skills-based strategies with deeper work around attachment, self-understanding, and relational dynamics to support meaningful and sustainable change.

In the first session, clients can expect a calm, supportive space focused on getting to know their story, current concerns, and what led them to seek therapy. I typically gather background information, explore current symptoms and stressors, and begin identifying initial goals together so the work feels clear and collaborative from the start.

My priority is creating an environment that feels safe, nonjudgmental, and paced to the client’s comfort, especially when discussing sensitive topics such as trauma, anxiety, parenting stress, and relationship challenges. By the end of the first session, clients often leave with a clearer sense of direction, initial coping strategies when needed, and a shared plan for how we will approach treatment moving forward.
