ANNE FERGUSON

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

It is my passion to help people feel safe and secure. I believe many challenges people face in life connect to our human need for secure attachment and come from attachment wounds from childhood and/or lack of secure attachments in adulthood. I believe positive relationships with friends, family, co-workers, and romantic partners are the key to a happy and fulfilling life. It is my privilege to work with you to help repair those wounds and move into secure attachment.My clinical focus with couples is on betrayal and affair recovery, parenting challenges, blended families, improving sexual connection, ADHD, and generally improving communication and connection. With individuals I specialize in working with people who have suffered narcissistic abuse but also love working with individuals who are struggling with relationship concerns, anxiety, and depression.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked in human resources, event planning, was a stay-at-home mom, then I supported new parents through pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum time as a birth and postpartum doula for ten years, helping new parents give their babies a secure base in the world. The doula work inspired me to become a systemic therapist, finding a new way to help adults feel safe and secure. I have advanced training in and am especially passionate about using the attachment lens of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) with couples to strengthen relationships.I am also working on becoming a Certified Narcissistic Abuse Treatment Clinician (NATC).

As a white parent of mixed-race children, I am on the journey to becoming an ally and work with clients from all backgrounds. My two teenage sons inspire me to grow, heal, and make the world a better place. In my free time, I enjoy playing board games with my partner and sons, taking walks with friends, listening to podcasts, and seeing live theater or comedy. I am extroverted, organized, and love to do lists and being busy, but also value a relaxing night on the couch watching cooking shows or a movie with my kids. I use she/her pronouns and strive to be LGBTQ+ affirming.
