Hi there, I’m glad you’re here.

Seeking therapy can be a scary step for a lot of people. If you are in pain, if you want to change, if you just feel like things could be better—please reach out. We all deserve help and support.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in California via Telehealth. I specialize in using EMDR to help adults heal from past hurts and improve their current lives. I’d love to be part of your healing journey.

Modalities & Approaches

I primarily use EMDR to help clients heal from trauma and past hurts. I completed a 50-hour EMDR certification from EMDRIA in 2022. Since then, I’ve stayed connected to EMDR consultation groups and continued education opportunities.

When appropriate, I draw from DBT, Feminist theory, Health Liberation Framework and Strength-based practice to support client’s growth.

Tele-Health Services

I’m currently accepting telehealth clients in California. Video sessions have been proven to be just as effective as in-person services with the added benefit of meeting from the comfort of your own home. I'm available most weekdays and I'm happy to work with your schedule

Frequently Asked Questions

  • I’m happy to have a free 15-minute conversation with you to see if working together would be a good fit. Please email me at hello@anniehamiltontherapy.com to set up a phone call.

  • EMDR is a structured therapy that encourages the patient to focus briefly on the trauma memory while simultaneously experiencing bilateral stimulation (typically eye movements), which is associated with a reduction in the vividness and emotion associated with the traumatic memories. I completed a 50-hour training in 2022 through EMDRIA. Learn more about EMDR at EMDRIA’s website.

  • I strive to center my client’s agency throughout the therapeutic process and that includes how and when we discuss politics, power, identities, and our own relationship dynamics. I sincerely believe that systemic oppression and power structures impact our individual healing journeys. The therapeutic space is not immune to the power dynamics of the world around us. I believe there is healing in naming this reality. I’ll let you set the pace as I welcome these conversations into our therapeutic relationship.
